DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the preference visa petition. The petitioner 
appealed this denial to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). On December 12, 2011, the AAO 
dismissed the appeal. The petitioner subsequently filed a motion to reopen and reconsider the AAO's 
dismissal of the appeal. On April 1, 2013, the AAO dismissed the motion . The matter is now before the 
AAO on a second motion. 1 The motion will be dismissed. 
The petitioner is a Maryland corporation engaged in the business of international trade. 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. ยง 1153(b)(l)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. 
On November 19, 2009, the director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner failed to establish that 
the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity. On December 22, 2009, the 
petitioner appealed the denial disputing the director's findings. On December 12, 20 11, the AAO dismissed 
the appeal, rejecting prior counsel's reliance on the petitioner's previously approved nonimmigrant petition. 
The AAO provided a thorough analysis of the job description offered by prior counsel and found that 
counsel's statements lacked credible and detailed information about the beneficiary's actual daily job duties . 
In addition, the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that: (1) the beneficiary was 
employed abroad in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity; and (2) the petitioner has a qualifying 
relationship with the beneficiary's prior employer abroad. On January 13, 2012, the petitioner filed a motion 
to reopen and a motion to reconsider the AAO's decision . On April 1, 2013, the AAO dismissed the motion 
as neither counsel nor the petitioner cited any legal precedent or applicable law that would indicate an error 
on the part of the AAO in dismissing the petitioner's appeal. 
On April 30, 2013, the petitioner submitted the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion. The petitioner 
marked the box at part two of the Form I-290B to indicate that a brief and/or additional evidence would be 
submitted to the AAO within 30 days. The record indicates that the petitioner did not file a brief or 
supplemental evidence within the allowed timeframe. The record is complete as presently constituted. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.5(a)(2) states: 
A motion to reopen must state 
the new facts to be provided in the reopened proceeding and be 
supported by affidavits or other documentary evidence. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.5(a)(3) states: 
A motion to reconsider must state the reasons for reconsideration and be supported by any 
pertinent precedent decisions to establish that the decision was based on an incorrect 
application of law or [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)] policy. A motion 
to reconsider a decision on an application or petition must, when filed, also establish that the 
decision was incorrect based on the evidence of record at the time of the initial decision.

Counsel for the petitioner marked the box at part two of the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, to indicate that 
the petitioner is filing an appeal.

The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.5(a)(4) states, in pertinent part: "A motion that does not meet applicable 
requirements shall be dismissed." 
The instant motion consists solely of a statement on the Form I-290B: "The decision is contrary to the facts of 
this case and contrary to the applicable law." There is no reference made to the findings in the AAO's 
decision and the specific deficiencies remarked upon therein, no new facts provided to support a motion to 
reopen, and no reasons stated for reconsideration . Although counsel marked the box indicating that a brief 
and/or additional evidence would be submitted within 30 days, the AAO has not received any supplemental 
documentation. Accordingly, the motion will be dismissed for failing to meet the applicable requirements. 
The burden of proof in these proceedings rests solely with the petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. ยง 1361. 
The petitioner has not met that burden. Accordingly, the motion will be dismissed, the proceedings will not be 
reopened or reconsidered, and the previous decisions ofthe director and the AAO will not be disturbed. 
ORDER: The motion is dismissed.
