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.
