All of the documents related to this matter have been returned to the office that originally decided your case. Please be advised that any further inquiry that you might have concerning your case must be made to that office. Thank you, PerryRhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.Dscis.gov ). โข , III DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas 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 engaged in textile manufacturing and trade, and it seeks to employ the beneficiary as a merchandising 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. ยง ll53(b)(1)(C), as a multinational executive or manager. The director denied the petition on the following grounds: (1) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's employment abroad was within a qualifying managerial or executive capacity, (2) the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary will be employed in the U.S. in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity, (3) the petitioner failed to present evidence that both the foreign and U.S. company are doing business, and (4) the petitioner failed to establish that it has the ability to pay the beneficiary's proffered wage. Upon review of the record, the AAO withdraws the director's decision and sustains the appeal. The Form 1-129 indicates that the beneficiary will be employed in the position of merchandising manager. The petitioner provided a detailed description of the job duties performed by the beneficiary with the foreign company, and provided an organizational chart indicating the subordinates supervised by the beneficiary. In addition, the petitioner provided a detailed job description with a percentage breakdown for each duty for the proffered position. The petitioner also provided an organizational chart of the petitioner and job descriptions for the positions supervised by the beneficiary. The beneficiary is supervising professional employees who will relieve him from performing non-qualifying duties. In addition, the petitioner provided financial documents, tax documents and invoices to indicate that both the foreign company and the petitioner are currently doing business. Finally, the petitioner provided financial documents and tax returns to indicate that the petitioner has sufficient assets to pay the wages offered to the beneficiary. 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.
