""'""'''โข Administrative Appeals Office REV 3/2015 www.uscis.gov (b)(6) NON-PRECEDENT DECISION Page 2 DISCUSSION: The Director, California Service Center, denied the petition. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. On the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker (Form 1-129), the petitioner describes itself as a software product development and consulting firm that was established in In order to employ the beneficiary, the petitioner seeks to classify her as a nonimmigrant worker in a specialty occupation pursuant to section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The Director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner did not establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation in accordance with the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. The petitioner submitted a Notice of Appeal or Motion (Form I-290B) and checked Box b in Part 3 of the form to indicate that it was filing an appeal and would send a brief and/or additional evidence within 30 days. We fully and in-detail reviewed the submission. However, the petitioner did not identify any specific assignment of error. Moreover, although the petitioner stated that it would send a brief and/or additional evidence, we have not received the submission within the allotted timeframe. Accordingly, the record of proceeding is deemed complete as currently constituted. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(l)(v) states, in pertinent part: "An officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summ arily dismiss any appeal when the party concerned fails to identify specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal." In the instant case, the petitioner did not identify specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact as a basis for the appeal and, therefore, the appeal must be summ arily dismissed. In visa petition proceedings, it is the petitioner's burden to establish eligibility for the immigration benefit sought. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. ยง 1361; Matter ofOtiende, 26 I&N Dec. 127, 128 (BIA 2013). Here, that burden has not been met. ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
