Decision date as printed | Not stated in normalized review fields |
Classification / field stated in source | Classification not stated in the normalized review fields |
Procedural posture | AAO_posture: Appeal rejected as improperly filed; the decision also notes it was untimely. The appeal was filed by a person/entity not entitled to file it; additionally, it arrived 38 days after the Director decision, beyond 33 days.; citation_pages: 1; 2; classification: appeal_rejected_as_improperly_filed_and_untimely; director_findings: Director issued decision May 24, 2010. Beneficiary filed Form I-290B July 1, 38 days later; AAO noted the beneficiary signed it but the attorney/entity named as representative was not authorized to represent individuals in immigration proceedings. Because the person filing lacked legal standing, appeal was improperly filed and rejected without refund; it was also untimely as an alternative basis. |
