DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service Center. 
The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks to employ the beneficiary as its sales 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. 4 1153(b)(l)(C), as a 
multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition based on three independent 
grounds of ineligibility: I) the petitioner failed to establish that it has a qualifying relationship with 
the beneficiary's foreign employer; 2) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was 
employed abroad in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity; and 3) the petitioner failed to 
establish that it would employ the beneficiary in a managerial or executive capacity. 
On appeal, counsel for the petitioner asserts that the director's denial was an abuse of discretion in 
light of an alleged typographical error in Part 2 of the petitioner's Form 1-140, where the 
beneficiary's intended immigration classification was specified as that of a multinational manager or 
executive. Counsel does not, however, explain what the typographical error was specifically. In 
other words, counsel fails to explain how the beneficiary was intended to be classified, nor does he 
explain how the director was supposed to know that a typographical error had been made. It is not 
the director's responsibility to interpret the petitioner's submissions for typographical errors. 
Counsel also indicates his intent to submit a brief within 30 days of filing the appeal. To date, 
however, nine months since the appeal was filed, the record has not been supplemented with any 
additional evidence or information. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. 4 103.3(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 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.
