Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed on procedural grounds because the petitioner's counsel failed to identify a specific erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the director's original decision. Additionally, the AAO noted that the evidence submitted related to the petitioner's occupation as a lawyer, not her claimed field of extraordinary ability, which was inmate behavioral modification.
