DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 
Service Center, on July 27, 2009, 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. $ 1153(b)(l)(A), as an 
alien of extraordinary ability in athletics. The director determined that the petitioner had not 
established the requisite extraordinary ability and failed to submit extensive documentation of his 
sustained national or international acclaim. 
On appeal, the petitioner stated that "[a] brief will be submitted withn 30 days." The petitioner dated 
the appeal on August 22,2009. As of this date, approximately one year later, the AAO has received 
nothing further. Accordingly, the record is considered complete as it now stands. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. $ 103.3(a)(l)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party 
concerned fails to identi@ specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the 
appeal. The petitioner here has not specifically addressed the reasons stated for denial and has not 
provided any additional evidence. As the petitioner has failed to provide any statement or argument 
regarding the basis of his appeal, the appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER. The appeal is dismissed.
