NON-PRECEDENT DECISION

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.
