Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected because the underlying petition was improperly filed. The petition was signed by the employer's attorney, not an authorized official of the petitioning company, and the attorney did not qualify as a valid agent under the regulations. Since the petition was never properly filed, the AAO could not review the merits of the case.
