DISCUSSION: The Acting Center Director ("Director"), Vermont Service Center, denied the immigrant
visa petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (MO) on appeal. The appeal will
be dismissed.
The petitioner seeks to classify the beneficiary pursuant to section 203(b)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1153(b)(3) as a slulled worker. The director determined that the petitioner could not
document that the beneficiary had the experience required in the certified ETA 750A job offer, as the petitioner
submitted no evidence to document the beneficiary's prior skills.
On appeal, counsel merely stated that "Petitioner seeks review of the Citizenship and Immigration Services'
November 8, 2004 decision on a de novo basis. Petitioner will supply evidence and argument which will
demonstrate that he possessed the required two years of work experience as a cement mason or cement mason's
helper as of the priority date as was stated in the orignal I-140 petition."
The appeal was filed on December 13,2004. As of ths date, more than twenty months after filing the appeal, the
MO has received nothng further. On September 20, 2006, the MO faxed counsel and allowed the petitioner
an additional opportunity to submit evidence withn a five day time period. The petitioner did not respond, or
submit any additional documentation.
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
identi@ specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal.
A review of the underlying record shows that the petitioner sent no evidence to document that the beneficiary met
the requirements of the certified ETA 750. The petition was accordingly denied. On appeal, counsel has not
provided any additional evidence to overcome the reason for denial. The appeal must therefore be summarily
dismissed.
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed. Avoid the mistakes that led to this denial
