Decision Summary
The appeal was rejected on procedural grounds because it was not filed by the petitioner or by a recognized legal representative. The individual who filed the appeal claimed to be an attorney but failed to provide proof of his standing after being requested to do so by the AAO. As he failed to establish he was an 'affected party' with legal standing, the appeal was deemed improperly filed.
