MATTER OF C-B-G- LLC 
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: MAY4,2016 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a vehicle parts wholesaler. seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a ··supply 
chain analyst" under the H-lB nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupations. See Immigration 
and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(l5)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The H-18 
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 petitiOn. The Director concluded that the 
evidence of record did not establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. 
The matter is now before us on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
Although the Petitioner marked Box l(a) in Part 3 of the Form 1-2908. Notice of Appeal or Motion. 
to indicate that a brief and/or additional evidence was attached, the Petitioner submitted the form 
I-290B without a brief or evidence. In a letter submitted with the appeaL the Petitioner stated that 
''[a] brief in support of the Appeal will be submitted within 30 days of initial filing of the Appeal." 
As of the date of this notice, we have not received a brief or additional evidence. Accordingly, the 
record will be considered complete as presently constituted. 
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." 
The Petitioner has not specifically identified any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact as 
a basis for the appeal. As noted, the Petitioner did not provide a brief or additional evidence in 
support of the appeal. Moreover. the Petitioner did not provide with its appeal a separate statement 
regarding the basis of the appeal, as instructed at Part 4 of the Form I-2908. Here, the Petitioner has 
made no reference or objection to the specific findings set forth in the Director"s decision. 
Therefore. consistent with 8 C.F.R. § 103.3(a)(l)(v), the appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
Matter ofC-B-G- LLC 
In visa petition proceedings, it is the Petitioner's burden to establish eligibility for the immigration 
benefit sought. Section 291 ofthe Act 8 U.S.C. § 1361: Matter ofOtiende, 26 I&N Dec. 127, 128 
(BIA 2013). Inasmuch as the Petitioner has not specifically identified an erroneous conclusion of 
law or a statement of fact in this proceeding, the Petitioner has not sustained that burden. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed pursuant to 8 C.P.R.§ 103.3(a)(l)(v).
