Form 1-140, Petition for Multinational Managers or Executives 
The Petitioner seeks to permanently employ the Beneficiary as its President under the first preference 
immigrant classification for multinational executives or managers . Immigration and Nationality Act 
(the Act) section 203(b )( 1 )(C), 8 U.S .C. ยง 1153(b )( 1 )(C) . This classification allows a U.S. employer to 
permanently transfer a qualified foreign employee to the United States to work in an executive or 
managerial capacity. 
The Director of the Texas Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the Petitioner did not 
demonstrate that the Beneficiary would be employed in an executive capacity in the United States . 
The Director denied a subsequent motion to reopen and reconsider, concluding that the Petitioner had 
not asserted new facts, 1 and that it had not cited binding precedent decisions or other legal authority 
establishing that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) incorrectly applied pertinent law 
or agency policy and that the prior decision was erroneous based on the evidence of record at the time. 2

perceives as an erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact within a decision in the underlying 
proceeding. See 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(l)(v) . Here, the underlying decision on appeal is the Director's 
denial of the motion to reopen and reconsider (motion decision). On appeal, the Petitioner submits a 
brief and evidence that are similar to those previously submitted on motion, and it asserts that the 
Beneficiary would be employed in an executive capacity in the United States. Although the Petitioner 
addresses the ground for denial detailed in the Director's initial decision, it fails to specifically identify

regulatory provision, or statement of USCIS or Department of Homeland Security policy. Id.

affected party fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the 
appeal. Therefore, the appeal will be summarily dismissed.
