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. ยง 11 53(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. 
Part 3, "Basis for the appeal or motion," of the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, was left 
blank. Further, the appellate submission was unaccompanied by arguments or evidence addressing 
the pertinent regulatory criteria at 8 C.F.R. 5 204.5(h)(3). 
The petitioner indicated that a brief and/or evidence would be submitted to the AAO within 30 days. 
The appeal was filed on March 4, 2008. As of this date, more than ten months later, the AAO has 
received nothing further. 
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.
