DISCUSSION: The Director of the Vermont Service Center denied the petition for a nonirnmigrant visa and 
dismissed a subsequent appeal, affing its decision on a motion to reopen. The matter is now before the 
Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be rejected. 
The petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the beneficiary in the United States as an L-1A nonirnmigrant 
intracompany transferee 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 based on the conclusion that the petitioner failed to 
establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. 
The appeal is filed by the beneficiary. The regulations, however, preclude the beneficiary as a party to the 
proceeding or as one entitled to representation. See 8 C.F.R. 6 103.2(a)(3). It is concluded, therefore, that the 
party submitting the appeal has no standing in the proceeding. 8 C.F.R. 5 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A). 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
