NON-PRECEDENT DECISION 
Page 2 
DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the immigrant visa petition and the 
matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification pursuant to section 203(b )(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
(the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 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 States. The 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 
States. 
In Part 2 of the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, the petitioner checked box "B" indicating 
"[m]y brief and/or additional evidence will be submitted to the AAO within 30 days." The appeal was 
filed on May 29, 2013. As of this date, more than seven months later, the AAO has received nothing 
further. Part 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 appealed." Counsel states: 
We are submitting herein Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal for the above referenced I-140 
denial with 
request to submit Appeal's brief to AAO within 30 days. 
[The petitioner] is filing herein Appeal pursuant to the regulations at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3 on the 
ground that the Decision is based on erroneous conclusion of law and erroneous conclusion 
and/or statement of fact. 
Enclosed kindly find completed Form I-290B, Form G-28, check of $630.00 and denial 
notice. 
Thank you so much for your understanding and re-consideration on this matter. 
Counsel's statement fails to identify any erroneous conclusion of law or fact in the director's 
decision. Counsel does not specifically contest any of the director's findings or point to specific 
errors in the director's analyses of the documentary evidence. In addition, counsel does not explain 
how the specific documentation that the petitioner submitted supports a finding of eligibility. The 
regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(1)(v) provides that "[a]n officer to whom an appeal is taken shall 
summarily dismiss any appeal when the party concerned fails to identify specifically any erroneous 
conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal." In this matter, the petitioner has not identified 
as a proper basis for the appeal an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact in the director's 
decision. 
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. The 
petitioner has not specifically addressed the reasons stated for denial and has not provided any 
additional evidence pertaining to her eligibility for the classification sought. The appeal must 
therefore be summarily dismissed.
