dismissed EB-1C Case: Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed on procedural grounds. The petitioner's counsel failed to specifically identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the director's denial, instead merely asking the AAO to refer to previously submitted evidence. This failure to present a specific argument meant the petitioner did not meet the burden of proof required for an appeal.

Citizenship and Immigration Services PUBLIC COPY FILE: Office: NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER Date: JUL 68 2009 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. ยง 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. 8 103.5 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, as required by 8 C.F.R. 103.5(a)(l)(i). JO~. Grissom Acting Chief Administrative Appeals Office DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service Center. The petitioner subsequently filed a motion, which the director granted. The director then issued another decision affirming the prior denial of the petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. The petitioner is a California corporation that seeks to employ the beneficiary as its general 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. 5 1153(b)(l)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition based on two independent grounds of ineligibility: 1) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a managerial or executive capacity; and 2) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. On appeal, counsel disputes both grounds for denial and merely asks the AAO to refer to previously submitted evidence in support of his argument. Counsel does not offer any explanation as to the specifics on record that contradict the director's decision or show how the director's findings were erroneous. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. 5 103.3(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. 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. 5 1361. Inasmuch as counsel for 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.
