DISCUSSION: The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service 
Center, and is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be 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. 9 1153(b)(2), as an alien of exceptional ability or a member of the professions holhng an 
advanced degred The petitioner seeks to employ the beneficiary as a chief operating officer. The petitioner 
asserts that an exemption fkom the requirement of a job offer, and thus of a labor certification, is in the national 
interest of the United States. The director found that the petitioner had not established that an exemption &om the 
requirement of a job offer would be in the national interest of the United States. 
On appeal, counsel notes that the director found the beneficiary exceptional, working in an area of intrinsic merit 
with a potential national impact. Regarding the director's basis of denial, counsel merely contradicts it, stating: 
"The evidence in the record Wher demonstrates that [the beneficiary] presents a national benefit so great as to 
outweigh the national interest inherent in the labor certification process." Counsel specifies that he is not 
submitting a separate brief or evidence. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. 3 103.3(a)(l)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party concerned fails to 
identify speciJically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. 
Counsel here has not speciJcally addressed the reasons stated for denial other than to assert the contrary and has 
not provided any additional evidence. The appeal must therefore be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
