MATTER OF D-G- INC 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: JULY 11,2016 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a computer company, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a "software 
programmer" under the H-1B nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupations. See Immigration 
and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. § 11Q1(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The H~1B 
program allows a U.S. employer to temporarily employ a qualified foreign worker in a position that 
requires both (a) the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge 
and (b) the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as 
a minimum prerequisite for entry into the position. 
The Director, Vermont Service Center, denied the petltwn. The Director concluded that the 
Petitioner did not establish that (1) the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation in 
accordance with the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions; and (2) it paid the required fees. 
The matter is now before us on appeal. We will summarily dismiss the appeal.

II. DISCUSSION 
The Petitioner marked Box l(b) in Part 3 of the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, to 
indicate that a brief and/or additional evidence would be submitted within 30 days of filing the 
appeal. However, we did not receive a brief or additional evidence within the allotted timeframe. 
Moreover, the Petitioner did not provide a separate statement regarding the basis of the appeal, as 
instructed at Part 4 of the Form I-290B. Accordingly, the record is considered complete as presently 
constituted. 
Upon review of the appeal, we conclude that the Petitioner has not specifically identified any 
erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact as a basis for the appeal. Further, the Petitioner has 
made no reference or objection to the specific findings set forth in the Director's decision.
