DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant 
visa. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal 
will be sustained. 
The petitioner is a manufacturer and distributor of computer-related products. It seeks to employ 
the beneficiary as its General Manager and Chief Financial Officer. 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. ยง I I 53(b)(I)(C), as a 
multinational executive or manager. 
On February 24, 2011, the director denied the petition concluding that the petitioner failed to 
establish that the beneficiary's proposed employment with the U.S. entity would be within a 
qualifying managerial or executive capacity. 
Upon review of the record, the AAO withdraws the director's decision and sustains the appeal. The 
petitioner provided a detailed job description ofthe job duties to be performed by the beneficiary, an 
organizational chart indicating the subordinates supervised by the beneficiary, and quarterly wage 
reports to demonstrate that these individuals are employed by the petitioner. 
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. ยง 1361. Here, that burden has been 
met. Accordingly, the appeal will be sustained. 
ORDER: The appeal is sustained.
