cting Chief Administrative Appeals Office 
DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service Center. 
The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner is a Delaware corporation that operates as a clothing retailer. It 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)(l)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1153(b)(l)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director 
denied the petition based on the determination that the petitioner failed to establish that the 
beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity. 
On appeal, counsel asserts that the beneficiary's proposed position with the U.S. petitioner primarily 
consists of duties within a qualifying capacity and indicates that a brief and/or additional information 
would be submitted within 30 days in support of the appeal. On June 30, 2009, the AAO reviewed 
the record of proceeding and found that no additional evidence or information had been submitted 
since the appeal was filed on May 7, 2008. Accordingly, the record will be considered complete as 
currently constituted. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. fj 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. 5 1361. Inasmuch as counsel for 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.
