Thank you, l~ )(.Ron Rosenberg Acting Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.uscis.gov (b)(6) Page 2 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, a New York corporation, sought to employ the beneficiary as its general manager. Accordingly, the petitioner filed a Form I-140 petition seeking 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 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 director also entered a finding of fraud based on the inconsistent evidence found in the record. On appeal, counsel submitted a Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, briefly contending that the director's decision was erroneous both with regard to the petitioner's eligibility and the finding of fraud. Counsel indicated that he would submit a brief and additional documentary evidence directly 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 AAO will consider the record complete as presently constituted. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(1)(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, counsel's brief statement on the Form I-290B does not specifically identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact on the part of the director as a basis for the appeal. While counsel states that the petitioner "will submit additional documents to prove that the petitioner's explanation of inconsistencies is credible," neither the counsel nor the petitioner has submitted such evidence or a brief detailing the reasons for the appeal. Therefore, the appeal willbe summarily dismissed. 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. ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
