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. 
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.
