Decision Summary

The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner's counsel, after filing the appeal, failed to submit a brief or any additional evidence within the required timeframe. The initial denial was based on the petitioner's failure to demonstrate a continuing ability to pay the beneficiary the proffered wage, and this finding was not challenged with new arguments or evidence on appeal.

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 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 an alien holding an advanced degree. The 
director determined that the petitioner failed to demonstrate a continuing ability to pay the 
beneficiary the proffered wage beginning on the priority date. 
On appeal, counsel stated that the petitioner possesses the continued ability to pay the beneficiary the 
proffered wage since the priority date and indicated that a brief and/or additional evidence would be 
forthcoming within thirty days of the receipt of the appeal. 
Counsel dated the appeal October 14, 2008. As of this date, more than 38 months later, 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)(I)(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.
