MATTER OF 0-0- CORP. Non-Precedent Decision of the Administrative Appeals Office DATE: MAR. 22, 2016 APPEAL OF NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER DECISION PETITION: FORM I-140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER The Petitioner, a wholesaler of women's footwear, seeks to employ the Beneficiary as an operation analyst. It requests classification of the Beneficiary as a professional under the third preference immigrant classification. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) ยง 203(b )(3)(A)(ii), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(3)(A)(ii). This employment-based immigrant classification allows a U.S. employer to sponsor a professional with a baccalaureate degree for lawful permanent resident status. The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the petition. The Director concluded that the Petitioner had not established that the Beneficiary possessed the required five years of experience in the job offered. The matter is now before us on appeal. On appeal, the Petitioner states that the labor certification did not require that the Beneficiary possessed five years of experience in the job offered, but that it required five years of experience in the field of study, Business Administration. We will summarily dismiss the appeal. On November 30, 2015, we sent the Petitioner a request for evidence (RFE) with a copy to counsel of record. In the RFE, we addressed the Petitioner's statement that the labor certification required five years of experience in the field of study, Business Administration, but we noted that the evidence in the record did not demonstrate that the Beneficiary met this requirement. Accordingly, we provided the Petitioner an opportunity to submit this evidence. The RFE allowed the Petitioner 87 days in which to submit a response. We informed the Petitioner that we may dismiss the appeal if it did not respond to the RFE within the time allotted. As of the date of this decision, the Petitioner has not responded to our RFE. Because the Petitioner has not responded to the RFE, the appeal will be summarily dismissed as abandoned pursuant to 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.2(b)(13)(i). In visa petition proceedings, it is the petitioner's burden to establish eligibility for the immigration benefit sought. Section 291 ofthe Act, 8 U.S.C. ยง 1361; Matter ofOtiende, 26 I&N Dec. 127, 128 (BIA 2013). Here, that burden has not been met. Matter of 0-0- Corp. ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed as abandoned pursuant to 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.2(b)(13). Cite as Matter of0-0- Corp., ID# 14932 (AAO Mar. 22, 2016) 2
