DISCUSSION: The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petition for a nonimmigrant worker. The 
matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily 
dismissed. 
The petitioner claims it is a corporation organized in the State of New York in June 2001. It manufactures and 
sells sweets. It seeks to temporarily employ the beneficiary as its general manager, a position the petitioner 
claims requires specialized knowledge. Accordingly, the petitioner endeavors to classify the beneficiary as a 
nonimrnigrant intracompany transferee pursuant to section 10 1 (a)(l5)(L) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
(the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(15)(L). The petitioner avers that it is affiliated with 
located in Colony, Multan, Palastan. - 
On October 3 1, 200 1, the director denied the petition, determining that: (1) the petitioner had not established 
that the beneficiary had been or would be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity; or (2) that a 
qualifying relationship exists between the petitioner and the foreign entity. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง103.3(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." 
On or about November.19, 2001, the petitioner filed a Form I-290B Notice of Appeal. The petitioner noted 
on the Form I-290B that it would not submit a separate brief or evidence. 
The statement on the Form I-290B reads: 
Respected SirIMam. It is humbly stated that the denial of Petition, I have received I am filing - 
appeal against this dec illegible] in Pakistan and 
its Branch in America. is my Sales Person. The 
officer perhaps did no consider my request due to reasons he knows better. My request is to 
review my documentation and covering letter and response to the referral letter. I believe if 
you go in the pages of file, my petition may be approved. 
The statement on the appeal form does not identify an erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the 
appeal. As such, the regulations mandate the summary dismissal of the appeal. 
The petition will be denied for the above stated reasons, with each considered as an independent and 
alternative basis for denial. 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. 9 1361. Here, that burden has 
not been met. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
