extraordinary ability in the sciences. Immigration and Nationality Act section 203(b)(l)(A),

those who can demonstrate their extraordinary ability through sustained national or international 
acclaim and whose achievements have been recognized in their field through extensive 
documentation. 
The Director of the Nebraska Service Center denied the petition. The matter is now before us on 
appeal. Upon review, we will summarily dismiss the appeal.

be submitted within 30 days of the February 22, 2018, tiling date. However, we have not received

summarily dismissed.
