DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the preference visa petition. The matter is now 
before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner filed this immigrant petition seeking to classify the beneficiary as a multinational executive or 
manager pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S .C. 
ยง 1153(b )( 1 )(C). The petitioner, a Florida corporation, states that it engages in the export and distribution of 
merchandise with six current employees and a gross annual income of $951 ,384.00. The petitioner is seeking 
to employ the beneficiary as its general manager. 
The director denied the petition after issuing a notice of intent to deny and reviewing the petitioner's response. 
The director concluded that the petitioner failed to establish that it has a qualifying relationship with the 
beneficiary's foreign employer. The director ultimately determined 
that the petitioner submitted falsified 
evidence in support of the petition and denied the petition with a finding of fraud. 
The petitioner subsequently filed an appeal. The director declined to treat the appeal as a motion and 
forwarded the appeal to the AAO. On appeal , counsel for the petitioner asserts that the petitioner has not 
presented any falsified documents in order to obtain an immigration benefit. Counsel submits a brief and 
additional evidence in support of the appeal. In addition, the petitioner submits a statement from the 
beneficiary, who requests oral argument before the AAO.

(C) Certain Multinational Executives and Managers. -- An alien is described 
in this subparagraph if the alien, in the 3 years preceding the time of the 
alien's application for classification and admission into the United States

corporation or other legal entity or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof and who 
seeks to enter the United States in order to continue to render services to the 
same employer or to a subsidiary or affiliate thereof in a capacity that is 
managerial or executive.

and who are coming to the United States to work for the same entity, or its affiliate or subsidiary. 
A United States employer may file a petition on Form I-140 for classification of an alien under section 
203(b)(l)(C) of the Act as a multinational executive or manager. No labor certification is required for this
