NON-PRECEDENT DECISION

DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the immigrant visa petition. The
matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be
summarily dismissed.
The petitioner seeks to classify the beneficiary pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(2) as a member of the professions holding an
advanced degree. The director determined that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that it had the
continuing ability to pay the proffered wage from the priority date onward.
On appeal, the petitioner explained that it had not yet received the director's decision but that it was
filing an appeal because the online case status indicated that the director had mailed the decision
denying the petition on January 9, 2014.
The appeal was filed on February 11, 2014. As stated above, the petitioner stated that it had not
received the director's decision but that the online status inquiry indicated that the director had
mailed the decision denying the petition on January 9, 2014. In order to comply with filing
deadlines, the petitioner filed an appeal. The Notice of Appeal or Motion (Form I-290B) indicated
that a brief and/or additional evidence would be submitted to the AAO within 30 days. The
decision was mailed to the address given by the petitioner
on the Form I-140, Immigrant Petition
for Alien Worker. The record reflects that the Nebraska Service Center re-mailed the decision
on February 26, 2014 to the same address as that used before and as provided on the Form 1-140.
The record does not reflect that either mailing was returned as undeliverable.
As of this date, more than 120 days after the decision was mailed and more than 60 days after the
director's decision was re-mailed to the address provided by the petitioner, the AAO has received
nothing further, and the regulation requires that any brief shall be submitted directly to the AAO.
8 C.F.R. ยงยง 103.3(a)(2)(vii) and (viii).
As stated in 8 C.F.R. ยง 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 failed to submit any additional brief or evidence, which specifically addressed the
reasons stated for denial. The appeal must therefore be summarily dismissed.
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed. Avoid the mistakes that led to this denial
