DISCUSSION: The Director, Nebraska Service Center, denied the employment-based immigrant visa 
petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The AAO will 
reject the appeal. 
Under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 292.4(a), as 
well as the instructions to the Form I-290B Notice of Appeal, if an attorney files an appeal with the 
Administrative Appeals Office, the filing must include a newly executed Form G-28 Notice of Entry 
of Appearance as Attorney or Representative, even if the record includes an older form from the 
same attorney. This regulation applies to all appeals filed on or after March 4, 2010. See 75 Fed. 
Reg. 5225 (February 2,2010). 
The petitioner filed the Form 1-140 petition on December 1,2008, with a Form G-28 dated March 
15, 2008, naming petitioner's attorney of record. The director denied the 
petition on June 10, the appeal on July 13, 2010, but the filing did not 
include a new Form G-28 as required. 
Under the regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(2), if an appeal is otherwise properly filed 
without a Form G-28, then USCIS must contact the attoi1iie and attem t to obtain the required form. 
Therefore, on August 31, 2011, the AAO instructed to submit the required form 
within ten (10) calendar days. The AAO sent its request by acslmile to the number on โ€ข. 
. . The allotted time has elapsed, and the AAO has received no response 
The AAO notes that had indicated, on Form I-290B, that he would submit an 
appellate brief within 30 record contains no further submission from or 
any other indication that he has continued to pursue the appeal. 
Because an attorney filed the appeal without a new, properly executed Form G-28, the regulation at 
8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(2)(v)(A)(2)(i) requires the AAO to reject the appeal. 
ORDER: The appeal is rejected.
