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 rejected pursuant to 8
C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A).
The petitioner seeks to extend the temporary employment of the beneficiary as its administrative operations
manager in the United States as an L-IA nonimmigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section
101(a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and National ity Act (the Act), 8 U .S.c. § lI01(a)(l5)(L). The U.S .
petitioner, a corporation organized in the State of Florida, claims to be engaged in the import and export
business. The petitioner seeks to extend the beneficiary's stay for an additional two years. The director
denied the petition concluding that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary will be employed in the
United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity.
The appeal in this matter was filed on behalf of the petitioner by_e Form G-28, Notice
of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative , indicates~attorney and a member
in good standing of the bar of the Supreme Court of Florida. The proper authorities in that state , however ,
have no record of his admission to practice law. On April 23, 2007 , the AAO, via facsimile transmission,
requested evidence of_admission to practice law in the State of Florida pursuant to 8 C.F .R.
§292.4(a). As of the date of this decision, no response has been received.
An appeal filed by a person or entity not entitled to file it must be rejected as improperly filed. 8 C.F.R . §
l03.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(l). Despite the AAO 's request for evidence demonstrating that _ is an attorney
and in good standing of the bar of the Supreme Court of Florida as claimed on the Form G-28, the record is
devoid of such evidence . Therefore, the appeal must be rejected as improperly filed.
As the appeal was not properly filed, it will be rejected. 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(l).
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
