Decision Summary

The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the original decision. The director had initially denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish its ability to pay the proffered wage, and the petitioner's counsel did not submit any new evidence or brief to the AAO to challenge this finding.

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, 8 U.S.C. ยง 1153(b)(2), as a member of the professions holding an advanced 
degree or an alien of exceptional ability. The director determined that the petitioner failed to 
establish its continuing ability to pay the proffered wage of $28.43 per hour ($59,134.40 
annually) from the priority date of January 19,2007. 
On appeal, counsel merely asserts that the petitioner does have the ability to pay the proffered wage. 
The appeal was received on April 9, 2008. As of this date, more than three years later, the AAO 
has received no new evidence or brief, 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)(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. 
A review of the director's decision reveals that the director accurately set forth a legitimate basis 
for the denial of the petition. Counsel's statements on appeal fail to overcome the basis for the 
denial. Accordingly, the appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
