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 summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner states that it is a "maintenance and general housekeeping services" company for residential and 
commercial properties. It seeks to extend its authorization to employ the beneficiary temporarily in the 
United States as its General Manager, pursuant to section 101 (a)(15)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1101(a)(15)(L). The director denied the petition concluding that the beneficiary will 
not be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. 
On the Form I-290B appeal, petitioner states: "I will be submitting a separate brief and documents." 
Petitioner indicated on the Form I-290B that a brief or evidence would be submitted to the MO within 30 
days. The appeal was filed on February 23,2004. To date, careful review of the record reveals no subsequent 
submission, all other documentation in the record predates the issuance of the Notice of Decision. The record 
will be considered complete. 
To establish eligibility under section 101(a)(15)(L) of the Act, the petitioner must meet certain criteria. 
Specifically, within three years preceding the beneficiary's application for admission into the United States, a 
firm, corporation, or other legal entity, or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof, must have employed the 
beneficiary for one continuous year. Furthermore, the beneficiary must seek to enter the United States 
temporarily to continue rendering his or her services to the same employer or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof 
in a managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge capacity. 
Upon review, the AAO concurs with the director's decision and affirms the denial of the petition. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. 5 103.3(a)(l)(v) state, 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. 
Inasmuch as petitioner has failed to identify specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact 
in this proceeding, the appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
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. 5 1361. The petitioner has not met this burden. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
