PETITION: 
 Petition for a Nonimrnigrant Worker Pursuant to Section 101 (a)(l 5)(H)(i)(b) of the

ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER: 
INSTRUCTIONS:

the office that originally decided your case. Any further inquiry must be made to that office.

DISCUSSION: The service center director denied the nonimmigrant visa petition and the matter is now before 
the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner is an investment corporation offering mortgage banking and brokerage services. It seeks to employ 
the beneficiary as a computer support specialist, and endeavors to classify him as a nonimmigrant worker in a 
specialty occupation pursuant to section lOl(a)(lS)(H)(i)(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 
8 U.S.C. 5 1 lOl(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b). 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(l)(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 dwector determined 
that the proffered position is not a specialty occupation. Accordingly, the petition was denied. 
On appeal, counsel for the petitioner states that he will file a brief andlor additional information within 30 days in 
support of the appeal. The appeal was filed on December 30,2004. On January 23,2005, counsel requested an 
additional 45 days in which to file a brief. That request was granted by the AAO and counsel was given until 
March 15,2005 to file a brief. To date, no brief or additional information has been filed. The record is, therefore, 
deemed complete. The petitioner has failed to state any basis for its appeal and has not specifically identified any 
erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact upon which the appeal is based. The appellant must do more 
than simply ask for an appeal. It must clearly demonstrate the basis for the appeal. This, the appellant has failed 
to do. As such, the appeal must be dismissed. 
The burden of proof in this proceeding rests solely with the petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 9 1361. 
The petitioner has not sustained that burden. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
