NON-PRECEDENT DECISION 
Page2 
DISCUSSION: The Vermont Service Center Director denied the nonimmigrant visa petition. The matter is 
now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner is a Texas corporation that previously filed a petition on behalf of the beneficiary and now 
seeks to extend the beneficiary's period of employment for an additional three years. The petitioner has 
therefore filed this nonimmigrant petition seeking to classify the beneficiary as an L-lA nonimmigrant 
intracompany transferee pursuant to section lOl(a)(lS)(L) ofthelmmigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 
U.S.C. § llOl(a)(lS)(L) . 
The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner does not have a qualifying relationship with the 
beneficiary's former employer abroad and is therefore ineligible for the immigration benefit sought herein. 
Although counsel submitted a properly executed Form I-290B indicating that the director's decision was 
being appealed, he did not dispute or address the director's basis for denying the petition. Rather, he marked 
Box B on the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, indicating his intention to provide a brief and/or 
additional evidence within 30 days of filing the appeal. The record shows no evidence that the record has 
since been , supplemented in accordance with counsel's original intent. Therefore, the record will be 
considered complete as presently constituted. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l)(v) states, in pertinent part: 
An officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summarily dismiss any appeal when the party 
concerned fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact 
for the appeal. 
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. § 1361. 'Inasmuch as the petitioner has failed to identify 
specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact in this proceeding, the petitioner has not 
sustained that burden. Therefore, the appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
