DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas Service Center. The 
petitioner subsequently filed a motion to reopen and reconsider, which the director dismissed, finding that the 
petitioner failed to 
meet the requirements of either motion. The matter is now before the Administrative 
Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be rejected as improperly filed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 
§ 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(J). 
The petitioner is a Florida corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its "director manager." 
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. § 1153(b)(1)(C), as a 
multinational executive or manager. 
After reviewing the evidence submitted, the director concluded that the petitioner failed to establish that: 
(1) it has a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer; (2) the beneficiary would be 
employed in the United States in a managerial or executive capacity; and (3) the beneficiary was employed 
abroad in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The director therefore issued a decision dated March 
6, 2012 denying the petition based on each of the above three adverse findings. 
On April 6, 2012, the petitioner filed a motion to reopen and reconsider, which the director dismissed in a 
decision dated June 26, 2012, concluding that the petitioner failed to 
meet the requirements of a motion. 
On July 30, 2012, the beneficiary filed a Form I-290B seeking to appeal the decision of the director dated 
June 6, 2012. 1 The beneficiary did not indicate that he was signing the Form I-290B on behalf of the 
petitioner. Moreover, the beneficiary used his own home address, and not the business address of the 
petitioner, in completing the Form I-290B. Therefore, it must be concluded that the beneficiary filed the 
Form I-1290B, and not the petitioner. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations specifically 
prohibit a beneficiary of a visa petition, or a representative acting on a beneficiary's behalf, from filing a 
petition; the beneficiary of a visa petition is not a recognized party in the visa proceeding. 8 C.F.R. 
§ 103.2(a)(3). As the beneficiary is not a recognized party, he is not authorized to file an appeal. 8 C.F.R. 
§ 103.3(a)(1)(iii)(B). 
As the appeal was improperly filed it will be rejected. 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(J). 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected as improperly filed. 
1 The AAO notes that the record has been supplemented with a recent Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as 
Attorney or Representative. However, the Form G-28 clearly indicates that _ entered her appearance 
only as the beneficiary's representative. Neither the petitioner's name nor any information pertaining to the petitioner has 
been included in the recently filed Form G-28. As such, cannot be deemed attorney for the petitioner in 
this proceeding.
