Nebraska Service Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal

203(b)(I)(A) of the Immigration and Nationa[ity Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. ยง I [53(b)(I)(A). The director 
determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim necessary 
to qualitY for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
On appeal, counsel merely stated that he would submit a brief and/or evidence to the Administrative 
Appeals Otlice (AAO) within 30 days. Counsel dated the appeal February [4,20[0. On March 25.

extended the period in which to supplement the appeal to August 30, 2010. As of this date, more than 
eight months later. the AAO has received nothing further. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(1 lev), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party concerned 
fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion oflaw or statement offact 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.
