DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Vermont Service 
Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily 
dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 203(b)(l)(A) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1 153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability in 
the arts. The director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim 
necessary to qualify for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
On appeal, counsel states: "The Director erred in finding the applicant has not shown that he has the national 
or international acclaim and prestige to be considered an ali[e]n with extraordinary ability. Additional 
arguments will be made in a brief and additional evidence will be provided in 180 days." The appellate 
submission was unaccompanied by arguments or evidence addressing the pertinent regulatory criteria at 
8 C.F.R. 5 204.5(h)(3). 
The appeal was filed on August 16, 2006. As of this date, more than twelve months later, the AAO has 
received nothing further. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. 8 103.3(a)(l)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party concerned fails to 
identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. 
The petitioner has not specifically addressed the reasons stated for denial and has not provided any additional 
evidence. The appeal must therefore be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
