DISCUSSION: The nonimmigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas Service Center. The 
matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily 
dismissed. 
According to the documentary evidence contained in the record, the petitioner was incorporated in 2001 and 
claims to be a chemical business. The petitioner claims to be a branch office of-, 
located in Admedabad, India. The petitioner seeks to extend its authorization to employ the beneficiary 
temporarily in the United States as its president. The director determined that the evidence was insufficient to 
establish that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity and that the U.S. 
entity was generating sufficient revenue within one year of approval of the initial petition to support a 
managerial or executive position. 
On appeal, counsel indicated that he would submit a brief or evidence to the AAO within 30 days. The notice 
of appeal is dated December 16,2003. In addition, on January 14, 2004, the AAO granted counsel's request 
for an additional 45-day extension in which to file his brief. Counsel was granted an extension to on or before 
March 5, 2004. To date, the AAO has not received any additional evidence. Therefore, the record is 
considered complete.

or statement of fact for the appeal.

appeal, the appeal will be summarily dismissed.

petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1361. The petitioner has not sustained that burden.
