All documents have been returned to the office that originally decided your case. Any further inquiry must be made to that office. If you believe the law was inappropriately applied or you have additional information that you wish to have considered, you may file a motion to reconsider or a motion to reopen. Please refer to 8 C.F.R. 5 103.5 for the specific requirements. All motions must be submitted to the office that originally decided your case by filing a Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, with a fee of $585. Any motion must be filed within 30 days of the decision that the motion seeks to reconsider or reopen, as required by 8 C.F.R. 9 103.5(a)(l)(i). w Perry Rhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 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. 1153(b)(l)(A), as an alien of extraordinary ability in the arts. The director determined that the petitioner had not established the requisite extraordinary ability through extensive documentation and sustained national or international acclaim. On appeal, counsel states: "The evidence submitted with the 1-140 [Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker] and subsequently in connection with the Notice of Intent to Deny clearly establish that the [petitioner] is a person of Extraordinary Ability as a writer." Counsel does not specifically challenge any of the director's findings or his analyses of the evidence submitted for the regulatory criteria at 8 C.F.R. 5 204.5(h)(3). Moreover, the appellate submission was unaccompanied by arguments or evidence addressing the regulatory criteria at 8 C.F.R. $ 204.5(h)(3) which the petitioner claims to meet. Counsel indicated that a brief and/or evidence would be submitted to the AAO within 30 days. The appeal was filed on August 4, 2009. As of this date, more than eight 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 pertaining to the classification sought. The appeal must therefore be summarily dismissed. ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
