The appeal will be summarily dismissed. It seeks to employ the beneficiary permanently in the United States as a Software Engineer pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.c. ยง 1153(b )(2). In pertinent part, section 203(b )(2) of the Act provides immigrant classification to members of the professions holding advanced degrees or their equivalent and whose services are sought by an employer in the United States. The director determined that the petitioner failed to demonstrate a continuing ability to pay the proffered wage beginning on the priority date. On appeal, counsel merely stated that USCIS incorrectly applied rules and laws. On the I-290B, signed by counsel on October 9, 2008, counsel checked the block indicating that he would be sending a brief and/or evidence to the AAO within 30 days. As of this date, the AAO has received nothing further, and the regulation requires that any brief shall be submitted directly to the AAO. 8 c.P.R. ยงยง 103.3(a)(2)(vii) and (viii). As stated in 8 C.P.R. ยง 103.3(a)(1)(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.
