File: Office: NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER Date: MAY 2 6 2009 LIN 07 058 52317 IN RE: Petition: Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker as a Multinational Executive or Manager Pursuant to Section 203(b)(l)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 3 1 153(b)(l)(C) ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: INSTRUCTIONS: This is the decision of the Administrative Appeals Office in your case. All documents have been returned to the office that originally decided your case. Any further inquiry must be made to that office. If you believe the law was inappropriately applied or you have additional information that you wish to have considered, you may file a motion to reconsider or a motion to reopen. Please refer to 8 C.F.R. 5 103.5 for the specific requirements. All motions must be submitted to the office that originally decided your case by filing a Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, with a fee of $585. Any motion must be filed within 30 days of the decision that the motion seeks to reconsider or reopen, as required by 8 C.F.R. 103.5(a)(l)(i). John F. Grissom ting Chief, Administrative Appeals Office DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the employment-based visa petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. The petitioner is a jewelry distributor incorporated in the State of New York in October 2004. 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. 8 1 153(b)(l)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition on June 10, 2008, determining that the petitioner had not established that the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity by the United States entity. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง103.3(a)(l)(v) states, in pertinent part: "An officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summarily dismiss any appeal when the party concerned fails to identi@ specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal." On the Form I-290B Notice of Appeal, filed on July 9, 2008, the petitioner indicated that a brief andlor additional evidence would be submitted within 30 days. In addition, in Part 3 of the Form I- 290-B, where the petitioner is to state the basis for the appeal, the petitioner simply states: "Brief will be submitted, which establishes that the beneficiary is working in a manageriaVexecutive capacity." To date, careful review of the record reveals no subsequent submission; all other documentation in the record predates the issuance of the notice of decision. The petitioner has failed to identify an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact in the director's decision as a basis for the appeal. Thus, the regulations mandate the summary dismissal of the appeal. In visa petition proceedings, the burden of proving eligibility for the benefit sought remains entirely with the petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 8 1361. Here, that burden has not been met, ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
