Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: FEB. 9, 2016 
APPEAL OF NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
PETITION: FORM I-140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER 
The Petitioner, a businessperson, seeks classification as an individual of extraordinary ability in 
business. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) § 203(b )(1 )(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b )(1 )(A). 
The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before us on appeal. 
The appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
On March 26, 2015, the Petitioner filed a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker. The 
classification the Petitioner seeks makes visas available to foreign nationals who can demonstrate 
their extraordinary ability through sustained national or international acclaim and whose 
achievements have been recognized in their field through extensive documentation. On appeal, the 
Petitioner stated that he would submit a brief and/or additional evidence to us within 30 days of 
filing the appeal on July 6, 2015. As of this date, more than six months later, the Petitioner has not 
provided anything further. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed ifthe party concerned 
does not specifically identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. 
See also Desravines v. U.S. Att'y Gen., 343 F. App'x 433, 435 (11th Cir. 2009) (finding that issues 
not briefed on appeal are deemed abandoned); Tedder v. FMC Corp., 590 F.2d 115, 117 (5th Cir. 
1979) (deeming abandoned an issue raised in the statement of issues but not in the brief). In this 
instance, the Petitioner has not provided a statement identifying a basis for the appeal, as required 
under part four of the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion. As the Petitioner has not identified 
any error in the Director's decision or offered any specific basis for this appeal, the regulations 
mandate the summary dismissal of the appeal. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l)(v).
