Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected primarily on procedural grounds, as regulations state there is no appeal from the denial of an application for an extension of stay. Additionally, the petitioner improperly attempted to change the nature of the petition from an L-1B (specialized knowledge) extension to an L-1A (managerial) extension on appeal, a change that requires a new amended petition to be filed.
Criteria Discussed
