The specific requirements for filing such a request can be found at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.5. All motions must be submitted to the office that originally decided your case by filing a Form 1-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, with a fee of $630. Please be aware that 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.5(a)(1)(i) requires that any motion must be filed within 30 days of the decision that the motion seeks to reconsider or reopen. Thank you, Perry Rhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.uscis.gov 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 is a Texas corporation that 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)(1 )(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(1 )(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition based on four established grounds of ineligibility. The petitioner failed to establish that: 1) the beneficiary was employed abroad in qualifying managerial or executive capacity; 2) the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity; 3) the petitioner has a qualifying relationship with the foreign entity that previously employed the beneficiary; and 4) it has the ability to pay the beneficiary's proffered wage. On February 12, 2009, the petitioner filed an appeal seeking review of the director's decision. Counsel, on behalf of the petitioner, states that "the officer erroneously interpreted the financial evidence" and that a brief and/or additional information would be submitted within 30 days of the appeal. In a letter from counsel which was received by u.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on March 20, 2009, counsel asked for more time in which to submit additional evidence. To date, however, nearly three years since the appeal was filed and over 22 months since counsel's second request for more time to submit evidence, the record has not been supplemented with any additional evidence or information. Accordingly, the record will be considered complete as currently constituted. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 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. 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. ยง 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. ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
