Notable

Petitioner claimed ineffective assistance by an individual who misrepresented herself as an attorney and allegedly caused a material change to his business plan, but the record showed he was the sole signatory with no attorney of record, and he did not comply with Matter of Lozada; AAO also reaffirmed that his prior economic-impact claims for his IT solutions business were unsupported.
