Citizenship and Immigration Services Date: FEB 1 1 2011 PETITION: Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker as a Multinational Executive or Manager Pursuant to Section 203(b)(1)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U,S,C, ยง IIS3(b)(1)(C) ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: SELF-REPRESENTED INSTRUCTIONS: This is the decision of the Administrative Appeals Office in your case, All documents have been returned to the office that originally decided your case, Any further inquiry must be made to that office, If you believe the law was inappropriately applied by us in reaching our decision, or you have additional information that you wish to have considered, you may file a motion to reconsider or a motion to reopen, The specific requirements for filing such a request can be found at 8 C.F,R, ยง 103,5, All motions must be submitted to the office that originally decided your case by filing a Form 1-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, with a fee of $630, Please be aware that 8 C.F,R, ยง 103,S(a)(1)(i) requires that any motion must be filed within 30 days of the decision that the motion seeks to reconsider or reopen, Thank you, Perry Rhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.useis.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 rejected. The petitioner is a Florida corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its president/joint entrepreneur. Accordingly, the petitioner endeavors to classifY the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b)(I)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 u.s.c. ยง 1 1 53(b)(1)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition based on the following four grounds of ineligibility: 1) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifYing managerial or executive capacity; 2) the petitioner failed to establish that it has a qualifYing relationship with the beneficiary'S foreign employer; 3) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a qualifYing managerial or executive capacity; and 4) the petitioner failed to establish that it has the ability to pay the beneficiary's proffered wage. On appeal, the beneficiary states that he was unaware that required documents were missing and only became aware of the deficiency when the petition was denied. The AAO notes, however, that 8 C.F.R. ยง I03.2(b)(8)(ii) gives the director the discretionary authority to deny an application or petition for lack of initial evidence or for ineligibility without issuing any prior notices informing the petitioner of the intended denial. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง I03.3(a)(I)(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.
