DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service 
Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be rejected as 
improperly filed. 
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. 3 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability. The 
director determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim necessary 
to qualify for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
In order to properly file an appeal, the regulation at 8 C.F.R. 3 103.3(a)(2)(i) provides that the affected party 
must file the appeal on Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. $ 103.2(a)(7) states: "An 
application or petition which is not properly signed or is submitted with the wrong filing fee shall be rejected 
as improperly filed. Rejected applications and petitions.. .will not retain a filing date." 
The record indicates that the director issued the decision on January 24, 2006. The petitioner submitted the 
Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal, on February 23, 2006. The appeal cannot be accepted, however, because it 
has not been signed. 
As the appeal was not properly signed, the appeal must be rejected. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
