DISCUSSION: The preference visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas Service Center, and 
now the matter is before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
dismissed. 
The petitioner designs and manufactures ultrasonic instruments. It seeks to employ the beneficiary 
permanently in the United States as a research and development engineer (ultrasound). The director 
found that the petitioner had failed to submit all required initial evidence. Specifically, the director 
found that the petition was submitted without evidence to demonstrate that the beneficiary is a 
professional holding an advanced degree. The director denied the petition accordingly. 
On appeal, the petitioner has failed to identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact 
made by the director. The petitioner acknowledges that it failed to submit the required initial evidence, 
and states that its failure was due to a "preparation mistake." Although the petitioner has submitted a 
copy of the beneficiary's Doctor of Philosophy diploma on appeal, this does not change the fact that the 
petitioner failed to submit all required initial evidence with the petition. As stated in 8 C.F.R. 5 
103.2(b)(8)(ii), where all required initial evidence is not submitted with the petition, USCIS may 
deny the petition for this reason. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. fj 103.3(a)(l)(v), any appeal that fails to specifically identify any erroneous 
conclusion of law or statement of fact will be summarily dismissed. 
A review of the decision reveals that the director accurately set forth a legitimate basis for denial of the 
petition. On appeal, the petitioner has not specifically addressed the basis for denial. The appeal must 
therefore be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
