Thank you, #~ Perry Rhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.uscis.gov โข Page 2 DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa petition on July 28, 2010. The petitioner appealed the decision with the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on August 9, 2010. The appeal will be rejected. On appeal, counsel has submitted a brief and additional evidence, some of which was already part of the record. Pursuant to the regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 292.4(a) as well as the instructions to the Form 1- 290B, counsel must file a new Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, with any appeal filed on or after March 4, 2010. See 75 Fed. Reg. 5225 (Feb. 2, 2010). Counsel, however, has failed to submit a new, updated Form G-28 with the appeal, filed on August 9, 2010. On May 3, 2012, the AAO sent a facsimile to counsel's office, requesting counsel to submit an updated Form G-28 within ten calendar days.l As of the date of this decision, more than a month later, the AAO has not received the requested updated Form G-28. Accordingly, the AAO rejects the instant appeal as improperly filed, under the regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(2). In conclusion, the appeal was not filed with the required new Form G-28 and counsel did not remedy that deficiency upon request. Accordingly, the appeal must be rejected as improperly filed under the regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(2). ORDER: The appeal is rejected. 1 Both the facsimile transmission and the facsimile send result report, dated May 3, 2012, have been made part of the record of proceedings.
