Thank you, Perry 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 consulting company, and it seeks 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)(1 )(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § I I 53(b)(1 l(c), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the immigrant petition concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's employment abroad was within a qualifying managerial or executive capacity, and the petitioner failed to establish that it would employ the beneficiary in a managerial or executive capacity. On May 20,2011, the petitioner submitted the Form I-290B to appeal the director's denial. The petitioner marked the box at part two ofthe Form I-290B to indicate that no supplemental brief and/or additional evidence will be submitted. Thus, the AAO deems the record complete and ready for adjudication. 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. 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(1)(v). The petitioner fails to identifY any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. On the Form I-290B, the petitioner reiterates the definition of executive capacity and contends that the beneficiary "has had a key role in the developmental phase of our organization." The petitioner failed to provide any additional evidence to corroborate that claim and overcome the director's concerns. Going on record without supporting documentary evidence is not sufficient for purposes of meeting the burden of proof in these proceedings.

As no additional evidence is presented on appeal to overcome the decision of the director, the appeal will be summarily dismissed in accordance with 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(1)(v). The burden of proof in these proceedings rests solely with the petitioner. Section 291 ofthe Act, 8 U.S.c. § 1361. The petitioner has not sustained that burden.
