U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services MATTER OF C-U-G- CORP. Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office DATE: OCT. 30.2017 MOTION ON ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS OFFICE DECISION PETITION: FORM I-140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER The Petitioner, a company engaged in kitchen and bath remodeling and closet installation. seeks to permanently employ the Beneficiary as its manager under the first preference immigrant classification for multinational executives or managers. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b)(l)(C), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(l)(C). This classification allows a U.S. employer to permanently transfer a qualified foreign employee to the United States to work in an executive or managerial capacity. The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition. The Petitioner subsequently filed an appeal, which we dismissed, concluding that the Petitioner did not establish, as required. that the Beneficiary was employed abroad and would be employed in the United States in a managerial . I capacity. The matter is now before us on a motion to reconsider. On motion. the Petitioner asserts that the prior decisions mischaracterized the nature of the Beneficiary"s responsibilities. disregarded his placement in the company's organizational chart, and failed to consider that he would rely on services from foreign staff members who directly support the U.S. subsidiary. Upon review, we will deny the motion. I. MOTION REQUIREMENTS A motion to reconsider must establish that we based our decision on an incorrect application of law or policy and that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence in the record of proceedings at the time of the decision. A petitioner must support its motion to reconsider with a pertinent precedent or adopted decision, statutory or regulatory provision. or statement of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy. 8 C.F.R. ยง 1 03.5(a)(3). We may grant a motion that satisfies these requirements and demonstrates eligibility for the requested immigration benefit. 1 The Petitioner did not claim that the Beneficiary had been employed abroad or would be employed in the United States in an executive capacity. Matter ofC-U-G- Corp. II. ANALYSIS In support of its motion to reconsider, the Petitioner provides a brief in which it contends that the Director's analysis was incorrect, asserting that it is a qualifying organization and that the Beneficiary was employed abroad and would be employed in the United States in a managerial capacity. The Petitioner offers job descriptions for the Beneficiary's foreign and U.S. employment and provides an untranslated 2 organizational chart pertaining to the Beneficiary"s employment abroad in an effort to address and overcome our findings on appeal. However, the Petitioner does not make any legal arguments related to the Beneficiary"s employment capacity abroad. There-submission of the job description and the foreign entity's organizational chart is insufficient to overcome our decision with respect to the Beneficiary's foreign employment. The Petitioner does not cite to any pertinent precedent or adopted decision, statutory or regulatory provision, or statement of USCIS or DHS policy, as required, to establish that we incorrectly applied law or policy in our prior decision. With respect to the Beneficiary's proposed U.S. employment, the Petitioner cites to section 10l(a)(44)(C) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. ยง 110l(a)(44)(C), in support of its claim that we should have considered the reasonable needs of the organization in determining whether the Beneficiary would be employed in a managerial capacity. Specifically, the Petitioner asserts that the Beneficiary "primarily manages the essential function of market development in the United States. which reasonably requires him to rely on services from the foreign statl members whose duties directly support the U.S. subsidiary." Our prior decision included an analysis of the reasonable needs ofthe petitioning organization, and a discussion of why the evidence submitted did not establish that the Beneficiary would be employed as a function manager under section 101(a)(44)(A) of the Act. The Petitioner's motion does not address the specific deficiencies we addressed in our decision. We did not consider the role that the foreign entity's employees play in supporting the U.S. organization as the Petitioner did not previously claim that the Beneficiary relies on the foreign staff or state that the foreign entity's staff support the U.S. company. Therefore, the Petitioner's claim that it is reasonable to believe that the Beneficiary relies on such staff is not supported by the record and does not overcome our prior decision. As the Petitioner has not established that there was an incorrect application of law or policy in our prior decision, we will deny the motion to reconsider. 2 Any document in a foreign language must be accompanied by a full English language translation. 8 C.F.R. ยง I 03.2(b )(3). The translator must certify that the English language translation is complete and accurate. and that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. !d. Because the Petitioner did not submit a properly certified English language translation of the document, we cannot determine whether the translated material is accurate and thus supports the Petitioner's motion. 2 Matter ofC-U-G- Corp. III. CONCLUSION For the reasons discussed, the Petitioner has not shown proper cause for reconsideration. ORDER: The motion to reconsider is denied. Cite as Matter ofC-U-G- Corp., ID# 725547 (AAO Oct. 30, 2017) 3
