NON-PRECEDENT DECISION 
Page 2 
DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service 
Center. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The 
appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner filed this Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, 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. § 1153(b)(1)(C), as a multinational 
executive or manager. The petitioner is engaged in investment and international trade and seeks 
to employ the beneficiary as its vice president. 
On August 21, 2014, the director denied the immigrant petition, finding the petitioner had failed 
to establish that the beneficiary would be employed within a qualifying managerial or executive 
capacity. 
On September 22, 2014, the petitioner filed Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, to appeal 
the director's denial. The petitioner marked the box at Part 3 of the Form I-290B to indicate that 
a brief and/or additional evidence would be submitted to our office within 30 calendar days of 
filing the appeal. The record indicates that the petitioner did not file a brief or supplemental 
. evidence within the allowed timeframe. The AAO will consider the record complete as presently 
constituted. 
The regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(1)(v) state, in pertinent part: 
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. 
The Form I-290B, at Part 4, instructs the petitioner as follows: "On a separate sheet of paper, you 
must provide a statement regarding the basis for the appeal or motion. 11 If filing an appeal, the 
petitioner must "[p]rovide a statement that specifically identifies an erroneous conclusion of law 
or fact in the decision being appealed." The petitioner's appeal did not include this required 
statement and instead was accompanied by a cover letter indicating that a brief would be sent 
within 30 days. 
Accordingly, as the petitioner has not identified an erroneous conclusion of law or statement of 
fact on the part of the director as a basis for the appeal, the appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
In visa petition proceedings, it is the petitioner's burden to establish eligibility for the 
immigration benefit sought. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1361; Matter of Otiende, 26 I&N 
Dec. 127, 128 (BIA 2013). Here, that burden has not been met. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
