U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services In Re: 18235198 Appeal of Nebraska Service Center Decision Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office Date: JUL. 20, 2021 Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Multinational Manager or Executive The Petitioner buys and develops commercial real estate. The company seeks to employ the Beneficial)' as executive vice president under the first-preference, immigrant visa category formultinational managers and executives. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b )(l)(C), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b )(1 XC). The Director of the Nebraska Service Center denied the petition . The Director concluded that the Petitioner did not demonstrate its proposed employment of the Beneficiary in the required managerial or executive capacity. The Petitioner asserts that the Director overlooked evidence of both the managerial and executive nature of the proposed work. We can't adequately review the decision, however, because the record is incomplete . A director must ensure that a record contains all evidence submitted by a petitioner or considered in the decision by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. 8 C.F.R. ยง 103 .2(b )(1 ); see also Matter of Gibson , 16 I&N Dec. 58, 59 (BIA 1976). The decision and the Petitioner's appellate brief indicate the Director's issuance of a written request for additional evidence (RFE) and the company 's response to the request. The record , however, lacks a copy of the RFE and originals of the Petitioner's response. Thus, we can't determine whether the Director properly considered all relevant evidence. We will therefore withdraw the Director's decision and remand the matter. On remand, the Director should add a copy of the RFE and originals of the Petitioner's RFE response to the record. The Director should then review the entire record and enter a new decision . If the Director can't supplement the record with the missing materials , she should issue a new RFE, affording the Petitioner a reasonable opportunity to respond. If supported by the record, the new RFE may allege deficiencies unaddressed by the initial request. Upon receipt of a timely response, the Director must ensure that the record contains a copy of the new RFE and originals of the Petitioner's complete response to it. The Director should then review the entire record and enter a new decision. ORDER: The decision of the Director is withdrawn. The matter is remanded for entry of a new decision consistent with the foregoing analysis. 2
