Thank you, Ron Rosenberg Acting Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.uscls.gov (b)(6) Page2 DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service ,Center, denied the nonimmigrant visa petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. The petitioner is a Florida corporation that sought to employ the beneficiary as its general manager. · Accordingly, the petitioner endeavors to classify the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(l)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. · After reviewing the evidence submitted, the director determined that the petitioner failed to establish that it would employ the beneficiary in a managerial or executive .capacity. The director commented on the petitioner's limited support staff and determined that the petitioner would not be able to relieve the beneficiary from having to allocate her time primarily to tasks of a qualifying nature. Accordingly, the director issued a decision dated July 27, 2002 denying the petition. On August 27, 2002, the beneficiary, through counsel, filed a Form I-290B with the service center, indicating his intention to supplement the record with a brief and/or additional evidenc~ in support of the appeal within 30 days of filing the Form I-290B. The record contains no indication that any further submissions were received into the record. Therefore, the record must be considered complete as presently constituted. Having said that, the AAO observes that counsel did not dispute the director's denial on the Form I-290B, nor did he state the basis for filing the appeal. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 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 ofprovfug eligibility for the benefit sought remains entirely with the petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1361. Inasmuch as the Form I-290B did not 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. :
