NON-PRECEDENT DECISION

DISCUSSION: The service center director (hereinafter "the director') denied the nonimmigrant visa 
petition, and the matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be 
summarily dismissed. 
ANALYSIS 
On the Form I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker), the petitioner describes itself as a 
"Software Product Development & Consulting" business. 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, 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). 
The director denied the petition, stating that the petitioner had not established that it would employ 
the beneficiary in a specialty occupation position for the requested period of intended employment. 
Thereafter, the petitioner submitted a Form I-290B (Notice of Appeal or Motion). On the Form 
I-290B, the petitioner marked box b of Part 3, indicating that it would send a brief and/or additional 
evidence within 30 days. However, we did not receive a brief and/or additional evidence within the 
allotted timeframe (or thereafter). Accordingly, the record of proceeding is deemed complete as 
currently constituted. 
We fully and in-detail reviewed the submission, including the Form I-290B. However, the petitioner 
did not identify any specific assignment of error. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)( l) (v) states, 
in pertinent part: "An officer to whom an appeal is taken shall summarily 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 has not identified specifically an erroneous 
conclusion of law or a statement of fact as a basis for the appeal and thus, the appeal is summarily 
dismissed in accordance with 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)( l) (v). 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed.
