Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition's approval was revoked due to a 'gross error.' A new petitioner/employer was improperly substituted in response to a Request for Evidence (RFE), which constitutes a material change. USCIS determined that approving the petition under these circumstances was an error, leading to the revocation.
