DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 
Service Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be 
summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification as an "alien of extraordinary ability" in the arts, pursuant to section 
203(b)(1)(A) of the immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. ยง 1153(b)(1)(A). The director 
determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim necessary to 
qualify for the classification. 
On appeal, counsel states that he would submit a brief and/or evidence to the Administrative Appeals 
Office (AAO) within 30 days. 
Counsel dated the appeal March 31, 2011. As of this date, more than 11 months later, the AAO has 
received nothing further. 
As stated in 8 c.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(1)(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. 
Counsel here 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.
