NON-PRECEDENT DECISION 
Page 2 
DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition and subsequently dismissed a motion to reopen and motion to reconsider. The matter 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)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(1)(A), as an alien 
of extraordinary ability as an economic journalist. On Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, 
the petitioner indicated in Part 3 that his "brief and/or additional evidence will be submitted to the 
AAO within 30 calendar days of filing the appeal." In addition, the petitioner's cover letter stated 
that "[ w ]e will submit our brief in support of this appeal within thirty days." The appeal was filed on 
October 1, 2014. As of this date, approximately five months later, we have received nothing further. 
Accordingly, the record is considered complete as it now stands. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(1)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party concerned 
does not 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. As the petitioner did not provide any specific statement or argument regarding 
the basis of his appeal, the appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
In visa petition proceedings, it is the petitioner's burden to establish eligibility for the immigration 
benefit sought. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1361; Matter of Otiende, 26 I&N Dec. 127, 128 
(BIA 2013). Here, that burden has not been met. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
