Thank you, erry Rhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.uscls.gov Page 2 DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas Service Center. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. The petitioner is a _corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its executive administrator. 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. ยง 1153(b)(1 )(C), as a multinational executive or manager. On August 24, 2009, the director denied the petition based on the determination that the petitioner failed to submit any evidence in support of its Fonn 1-140 and thus failed to establish eligibility to classifY the beneficiary as a multinational manager or executive. On appeal, the beneficiary, on behalf of the petitioner, disputes the director's conclusion and states that a brief and/or additional infonnation would be submitted within 30 days of the appeal. The beneficiary indicated that she was submitting "all corporate papers," but provided no infonnation about the documents she claimed would be submitted. The remainder of the documents that were submitted at the time ofthe appeal included a notarized affidavit and two letters, all three documents written by the beneficiary, who indicated that the petitioner submitted supporting documents. The beneficiary submitted a fourth letter asking that the petition be approved based on the beneficiary's desire to remain in the United States. The beneficiary claimed that she came to the United States as an illegal immigrant and has been awaiting some type of immigration refonn while she continues her employment in the private sector. Although the petitioner's articles of incorporation and certificate of incorporation were submitted, none of the documents that were submitted in support of the appeal explain how the petitioner meets the eligibility criteria that is expressly delineated at section 203(b)(1 )(C) of the Act. Additionally, with regard to the submission offurther evidence and/or infonnation in support of the appeal, the AAO notes that more than two years have passed since the appeal was filed and the record has not been supplemented with any additional evidence or infonnation. Accordingly, the record will be considered complete as currently constituted. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(l)(v) states, in pertinent part: An officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summarily dismiss any appeal when the party concerned fails to identifY specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. In visa petition proceedings, the burden of proving eligibility for the benefit sought remains entirely with the petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. ยง 1361. Inasmuch as the petitioner has failed to identifY specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact in this proceeding, the petitioner has not sustained that burden. Therefore, the appeal will be summarily dismissed. ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
