DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, revoked the approved employment-based immigrant visa petition. Counsel to the beneficiary appealed the decision to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). The appeal will be rejected pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(l). The petitioner described itself as an IT services company. It sought to employ the beneficiary permanently in the United States as an IT manager pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2). As required by statute, a labor certification accompanied the petition. The director determined that the job offer was not valid. The director revoked the approval of the petition accordingly.
The record of proceeding contains a properly executed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, for the beneficiary's representative. On appeal, counsel states that he represents the beneficiary, not the petitioner. The Form I-2908, Notice of Appeal or Motion, was signed by the beneficiary's attorney. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) regulations specifically prohibit a beneficiary of a visa petition, or a representative acting on a beneficiary's behalf, from tiling an appeal. 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(1)(iii)(B). No evidence suggests that the petitioner consented to the filing of the appeal.
As the appeal was not properly filed, it will be rejected. 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(1 ). ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
