U.S. Department of Homeland Sec~~rity 20 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Rrn. 3000 Washington, DC 20529 iaentifyisg drds dehd lo prevent clearly unwamntd invasion of personal privacy U.S. Citizenship and Immigration PUBLIC COPY Office: TEXAS SERVICE CENTER Date: NOV 06 2~ SRC 06 202 50813 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. 3 1153(b)(l)(C) ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: SELF-REPRESENTED 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. d Ro ert P. Wiemann, Chie Administrative Appeals Office DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the immigrant visa petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. The petitioner filed the instant immigrant petition to classify the beneficiary as a multinational manager or executive pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 4 1153(b)(l)(C). The petitioner, a Florida corporation, states that it is engaged in the provision of bathroom refurbishment services. It claims to be an affiliate of C&M Builders, located in the United Kingdom. The petitioner seeks to employ the beneficiary as its president. The director denied the petition on December 7,2006, concluding that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The petitioner subsequently filed an appeal on January 8, 2007. The director declined to treat the appeal as a motion and forwarded the appeal to the AAO for review. On the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal, the petitioner indicated that it would send a brief andlor evidence to the AAO within 30 days. As no additional evidence has been incorporated into the record, the AAO attempted to contact the petitioner by facsimile to request that the petitioner acknowledge whether the brief andlor evidence were subsequently submitted, and, if applicable, to afford the petitioner an opportunity to re-submit the documents within five business days. The facsimile number on record for the petitioner, which was the same number provided as a contact telephone number on the Form I-290B, was no longer in service. Accordingly, the record will be considered complete. To establish eligibility under section 101(a)(15)(L) of the Act, the petitioner must meet certain criteria. Specifically, within three years preceding the beneficiary's application for admission into the United States, a firm, corporation, or other legal entity, or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof, must have employed the beneficiary for one continuous year. Furthermore, the beneficiary must seek to enter the United States temporarily to continue rendering his or her services to the same employer or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof in a managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge capacity. Regulations at 8 C.F.R. 4 103.3(a)(l)(v) state, 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 affirms the denial of the petition. A review of the director's decision dated December 7,2006 reveals the director accurately and thoroughly set forth a specific, legtimate basis for denial of the petition. On appeal, the petitioner has not contested the grounds for denial, identified an erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact, or submitted additional evidence. Going on record without supporting documentary evidence is not sufficient for purposes of meeting the burden of proof in these proceedings. Matter of Sof$ci, 22 I&N Dec. 158, 165 (Comm. 1998) (citing Matter of Treasure Craft of California, 14 I&N Dec. 190 (Reg. Cornm. 1972)). In visa petition proceedings, the burden of proving eligbility 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 identiQ specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact in support of the appeal, the petitioner has not sustained that burden. ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
