This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The Director denied the petition because the signatures on the submitted forms were not valid. The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) dismissed the appeal and subsequent motions to reconsider, finding that the petitioner did not establish that the previous decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The petitioner reiterated arguments regarding electronic signatures, USCIS's COVID-19 flexibilities, and relevant regulations but failed to identify any precedent decisions to support her assertions.
