Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to specifically identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the director's decision, as required by regulation. The AAO noted that new evidence submitted on appeal was not considered because eligibility must be established at the time of filing and, even if it were considered, it only addressed one of the three original grounds for denial.
