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. I.
