DISCUSSIO~: Tbe Director, Texas Service Center, denied the immigrant visa petition. The
petitioner filed a motion to reopen and reconsider, whi<:h the director dismissed. the matter is now
· before the Administrative Appeals Office {AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed.
· The petitioner seeks classification p11rsuant to ~ection 203(b)(Z) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(the Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2), as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. 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 State~. T)le director found that .the petitioner had not established
that an exemption from the requirement of a job offer would be in the national interest of the United
St~tes.
In Part 2 of the Form 1-2908, Notice of Appeal or Motiort, the. petitioner checked box ''C" indicating
''No supplemental brief and/or · additional evidence will be submitted." Therefore, the appellate
subn,.li.ssion co11stitutes his entire appeaL · the petitioner, however, did not submit an accompanying
btief.or other documentation with the Forn:t I-290:5. ·
Pi:lJ:t 3 of the Form I-290B inCludes a space to. "[p]rovide a statement explaining any erroneous
conclusion of law or fact in the decision being appeaied;'' the petitioner states:
I have forwarded all the facts and supported affidavits or evidences in your office since I
applied for NIW. Please reconsider afl evidences that had been submitted previously. I am
appealing in your good office that this i:ippeaJ of reopeJJing the case will have at least (8)
months befor [sic] its [siC] another decision. I hap investment already and I will be disposing
them a.nd jt will take a while. I am appealing you [sic] humanitarian consideration to have at
least a little longer period of time to properly m(lnage and dispose some .investment and
property.
The petitioner's statement fails to identify any erroneous conclusion of law or fact in the director's
decision. The petitioner has not even expressed disagreement with ~he director's decision. the . .
petitioner does not specifically challenge any of the director's findings; or point to specific errors in
the director's analyses of the documentary evidence. Iii addition, the petitioner does not explain how
the specific documentation that he submitted supports a finding of eligibility.
As stated in 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l){v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party coneerned
fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law .or statemer~t of fact for the appeal. The
petitioner has not specifically addressed the reasons 'stated for denial and has not provided any
addit_ional evidence pertaining to his eligibility for the classification sought. The appeal mus.t
therefore be summarily dismissed.
ORDER: -· ·~ - .-- . .. . . The appeal ~s dismissed. Avoid the mistakes that led to this denial
