dismissed EB-1A Case: Sciences

Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
MATTER OF C-B- DATE: DEC. 23,2016 
APPEAL OF NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
PETITION: FORM 1-140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER 
The Petitioner, a citizen and national of Trinidad and Tobago, seeks classification as an individual of 
extraordinary ability in the field of sciences. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 
203(b)(l)(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(l)(A). This first-prefei·ence classification makes immigrant visas 
available to 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, Nebraska Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before us on appeal. 
Upon review, we will summarily dismiss the appeal. 
An officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summarily dismiss any appeal when the party concerned 
fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. 
8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l)(v). On the Form I-290B, Notice 6f Appeal or Motion, the Petitioner stated 
that a brief or additional evidence would be submitted within 30 days of filing. However, we have 
not received anything further from the Petitioner to date. Because the Petitioner has not identified 
any specific, erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the Director's decision below, the 
appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
The burden of proof in these proceedings rests solely with the Petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 
8 U.S.C. § 1361. The Petitioner has not satisfied that burden and the appeal will be summarily 
dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1 03.3(a)(1 )(v).
