Decision Summary

The AAO withdrew the district director's decision and remanded the case because the record of proceeding was incomplete. The original Form I-140 petition for the beneficiary was missing from the file, making it impossible for the AAO to determine the beneficiary's eligibility. The case was sent back to the district director to complete the record and issue a new decision.

DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, initially approved the employment-based immigrant 
visa petition. The director of the Houston district office issued a notice of intent to revoke the approval, and 
ultimately revoked approval of the petition on March 16, 2001. The matter is now before the Administrative 
Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will withdraw the decision of the district director and remand 
the matter to the Houston district office. 
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. 
$1 153(b)(l)(C). The petition was initially approved on August 27, 1996. On November 9,2000, the director 
of the Houston district office issued a notice of intent to revoke approval of the petition. The district director 
issued a decision revoking the approval of the petition on March 16, 2001, concluding that the beneficiary 
would not be employed in the United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. 
The AAO will withdraw the director's decision dated March 16, 2001 and remand the matter to the district 
director for further review. 
The AAO notes that while the maioritv of the evidence in the record relates to the instant beneficiary with A- 
d. 
number, the record of proceeding contains the original Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien 
Worker, filed on behalf of the same petitioner for another individual, with A-number (SRC 96 
2 14 5 13 17). The Form I- 140 pertaining to the instant beneficiary, with receipt number SRC 96 2 19 5 1563, is 
not part of the record. 
Because this critical document is missing, the AAO cannot determine whether the beneficiary is eligible for 
the requested visa classification. In making a determination of statutory eligibility, officers of U.S. 
Citizenship and Immigration Services are limited to the information contained in the record of proceeding. 
See 8 C.F.R. $ 103.2(b)(16)(ii). Here the record is incomplete. 
As the record does not contain the petition which was the subject of the revocation proceeding, the director's 
decision will be withdrawn. The matter is remanded to the district director, who is instructed to ensure that 
the record of proceeding is complete. After preparing a complete record of proceeding, the director shall 
enter a new decision and certify it to the AAO for review pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 5 103.4(a). 
ORDER: The decision of the district director is withdrawn and the matter is remanded to the director for 
entry of a new decision, which shall be certified to the AAO for review.
