DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, 
Nebraska Service Center. The petition 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. 5 1 153(b)(l)(A), as an 
alien of extraordinary ability in sports. 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. 
The petitioner timely filed a Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, in which he requested 
additional time in whch to have his documentation translated. The petitioner indicated on the Form 
I-290B that a brief and/or additional evidence would be submitted to the AAO within 30 days. In a 
separate letter, the petitioner stated that he was requesting more time to review the evidence that he 
submitted and that he "will send this information to [US. Citizenship and Immigration Services] as 
fast as I possibly can." As of the date of this decision, however, more than 11 months after the 
appeal was filed, no hrther documentation has been received by the AAO. Therefore, the record 
will be considered complete as presently constituted. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(l)(v) states, in pertinent part: 
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. 
The petitioner has failed to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of 
fact in this proceeding; therefore, the appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: 
 The appeal is summarily dismissed.
