DISCUSSION: The D!fector, Texas Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition. The matter is now before the Administrative APpeals Office {AAO) on appeal. The AAO will 
summarily dismiss the appeal. 
The petitioner seeks classification under section 203(b )(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the 
Act), 8 U .S.C. § 1153(b )(2), as an alien of exceptional ability in the sciences, the arts or business. · The 
petitioner seeks employment as an information systems analyst for the State of lllinois Department of 
Central Management Services. The petitioner asserts that an exemption from 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 th.e petitioner has not established that 
an exemption from the requirement of a job offer would be in 
the national interest of the United States. 
The O.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a){l)(v) states, in 
pertinent part, "[a]n officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summanly ·disrniss any appeal when the 
party concerned fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the 
appeal." 
The petitioner's appeal consists of a four-page statement. The statement is virtually identical to a 
statement that the petitioner had previously submitted in response to a request for evidence. The 
director already took these claims into consideration, and the petitioner adds nothing of substance to the 
record by repeating the same claims on appeal. The petitioner adds no new , claims or evidence to 
address or contest any specific findings of fact or law in the denial notice. 
Because the petitioner has failed to identify specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement 
of fact as a basis for the appeal, the AAO must summarily dismiss the appeal. 
ORDER: The ap~al ~s dismissed.
