Page2 DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas Service Center. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. The petitioner is a Florida corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its managing director. Accordingly, the petitioner endeavors to classify · the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b )(I )(C) of the Immigration and Nationaiity Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C . § 1153(b )(I )(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner submitted inconsistent and unreliable evidence with regard to the beneficiary's employment abroad and that. the petitioner therefore failed to establish that it met the filing requirements enumerated at 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(j)(3)(i), which address the issue of the beneficiary's qualifying employment abroad, the petitioner's qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer, and the petitioner's business activity during the one-year period prior to the filing of the petition. The director also determined that the petitioner failed to establish that it had the ability to pay the beneficiary's proffered wage at the time of filing or that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a managerial or executive capacity. Although counsel submitted a properly executed Form I-290B, Notice o( Appeal or Motion, indicating that the director's decision was being appealed, he did not dispute or address any of the director's numerous adverse findings. Rather, he indic(lted that a brief and additional evidence in support of the appeal would be submitted to the AAO within 30 days of the date of filing the appeal submitted on April 15, 2012. 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 regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(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 identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. Upon review, the AAO concurs with the director's decision and will affirm the denial of the petition. 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. 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. § 1361. Inasmuch as the petitioner has failed to identify specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact in this proceeding, the petitioner has not sustained that burden. Therefore, the appeal will be summarily dismissed. OIU)ER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
