ARIAS, 19 I&N Dec. 568 (BIA 1988) ID 3049 (PDF) (1) A decision to revoke approval of a visa petition can only be grounded upon, and the petitioner is only obliged to respond to, the factual allegations specified in the notice of intention to revoke. (2) Observations of the consular officer that are conclusory, speculative, equivocal, or irrelevant to the bona fides of the claimed relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary do not provide \good and sufficient cause\ for the issuance of a notice of intention to revoke approval of a visa petition and cannot serve as the basis for revocation, notwithstanding the petitioner's failure to timely respond to the notice of intention to revoke.
