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 summarily 
dismissed. 
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. $ 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability in 
the sciences. The director determined that the petitioner had not established the sustained national or 
international acclaim necessary to qualify for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. More specifically, 
the director found the petitioner had not established that she meets a least three of the regulatory criteria at 
8 C.F.R. $ 204.5(h)(3). The director's decision provided a thorough discussion of the deficiencies in the 
evidence submitted by the petitioner. 
On appeal, the petitioner states: 
I submitted an application for permanent residency under extra-ordinary abilities [sic] category 
pursuant to Section 203(b)(l)(A). I strongly believe that I do qualify to apply under this classification 
given the fact that I meet several requirements under the Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 
204.5(h). An applicant needs to provide evidence for one-time major achievement or at least three of 
the other claims. However, I have provided six different evidences to support my eligibility. I was 
saddened and shocked when my application was not given due consideration. I am also aware that 
some of the individuals whom I know have considerably very few academic and professional 
achievements, yet granted the permanent residency under the extraordinary abilities. I sincerely hope 
my professional contributions to US would be recognized and my application will receive favorable 
consideration disregarding ethnic, racial, religious, or skin color. Thank you very much for providing 
me an opportunity to make an appeal. I hope that my application will receive careful and complete 
consideration. 
The petitioner's appellate submission was unaccompanied by arguments or evidence addressing the pertinent 
regulatory criteria at 8 C.F.R. $ 204.5(h)(3). On the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal to the AAO, the 
petitioner checked the box indicating that she was "not submitting a separate brief or evidence." 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. 5 103.3(a)(l)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party concerned fails to 
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. The appeal must therefore be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
