DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the immigrant visa petition. The petitioner 
appealed the matter to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) where the appeal was summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner subsequently filed a motion to reopen and reconsider, which the AAO also dismissed. The 
matter is currently before the AAO on a second appeal. The appeal will be rejected. 
The petitioner is a New York corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its president. Accordingly, 
the petitioner endeavors to classify the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 
203(b )(1 )(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. § 1153(b )(1 )(C), as a multinational 
executive or manager. 
On July 29, 2008 the director denied the petition based on the determination that the petitioner failed to 
establish that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a managerial or executive capacity. 
The petitioner appealed the denial disputing the director's fmdings. The AAO dismissed the appeal, 
affirming the director's adverse finding with regard to the beneficiary's employment capacity in the proposed 
position with the U.S. entity. The AAO also found, beyond the decision of the director, that the petitioner 
submitted conflicting information regarding its ownership and therefore failed to establish that it has a 
qualifying relationship with a foreign entity. 
In a decision dated March 4,2011, the AAO dismissed the petitioner's motion, concluding that the petitioner 
failed to meet regulatory requirements at 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(2) for a motion to reopen or the requirements at 
8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(3) for a motion to reconsider. The AAO also determined that the petitioner failed to 
provide credible and reliable evidence to overcome the additional adverse finding pertaining to the qualifying 
relationship requirement. Accordingly, the AAO dismissed the motion pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(4), 
which states, in pertinent part, that a motion that does not meet applicable requirements shall be dismissed. 
The petitioner now files an appeal from the AAO's prior dismissal of the motion to reconsider. The 
petitioner's appeal must be rejected. The AAO does not exercise appellate jurisdiction over its own decisions. 
The AAO exercises appellate jurisdiction over the matters described at 8 C.F.R. § 103.1 (t)(3)(iii) (as in effect 
on February 28,2003). See DHS Delegation Number 0150.1; 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(iv). Accordingly, the 
appeal is not properly before the AAO and will therefore be rejected. 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(J). 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
