L-1B
dismissed L-1B Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because regulations state there is no appeal from the denial of an application for extension of stay. The AAO also noted that the petition was not filed on time, as the beneficiary's authorized period of stay had expired over a month before the filing. The petitioner's request to have the petition re-evaluated as an L-1A petition on appeal was also found to be improper.
Criteria Discussed
Maximum Period Of Stay Timely Filing Of Extension Change Of Capacity From Specialized Knowledge To Managerial Right To Appeal An Extension Denial
