DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, California Service 
Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks to classify the beneficiary as an employment-based immigrant pursuant to section 
203(b)(l)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 8 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of 
extraordinary ability. The director determined the petitioner had not established the beneficiary's sustained 
national or international acclaim necessary to qualify for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. 
. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. 8 103.3(a)(2)(vii) provides 
Additional time to submit a brief: The affected party may made a written request to the [AAO] 
for additional time to submit a brief. The [AAO] may, for good cause shown, allow the affected 
party additional time to submit one. 
The Form I-290B Notice of Appeal provides: 
You may submit a brief, statement, and/or evidence with this form. Or you may send these 
materials to the [AAO] within 30 days of the date you sign ths form. . . . If you need more than 
30 days, you must explain why in a separate letter attached to this form. The [AAO] may grant 
more time or& for good cause. 
(Emphasis in original.) On appeal, counsel stated that he would submit a brief and/or evidence to the 
Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) withn 150 days. In a separate letter, the petitioner notes that the director 
"criticized virtually all of the voluminous evidence" and states: 
Accordingly, based upon this experience, and our counsel's experience in other cases, we believe 
that it will take up to 150 days to collect and submit substantial additional evidence and 
argument to the [AAO] to establish that [the beneficiary] meets the regulatory standard for this 
category, and believe that our request meets the "for good cause" standard. 
Counsel dated the appeal June 15, 2004. As of this date, approximately seven months later, the AAO has 
received nothing further. Moreover, neither the petitioner nor counsel identified a particular item that would take 
150 days to procure or explained why it would take so long. The petitioner was afforded 12 weeks to respond to 
a request for additional evidence and 30 days to file the appeal. An additional 30 days is automatically granted to 
submit additional evidence and/or a brief. A mere statement that good cause exists to allow 150 days to 
supplement the record is insufficient. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. 8 103.3(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. Counsel here 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.
