Citizenship and Immigration Services PETITION: Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker as a Member of the Professions Holding an Advanced Degree or an Alien of Exceptional Ability Pursuant to Section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.c. ยง 1153(b)(2) ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: INSTRUCTIONS: Enclosed please find the decision of the Administrative Appeals Office in your case.

Perry Rhew Chief, Administrative Appeals Office www.uscis.gov Page 2 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.
