L-1A Dismissed — Unknown: the appeal concerned the denial of an application to change
Decision Summary
The appeal concerned the denial of an application to change the beneficiary's status and extend her stay, not the L-1A petition which was approved. The AAO rejected the appeal because regulations, specifically 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(c)(5), state that there is no appeal from the denial of an application for extension of stay. Consequently, the AAO lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.
