DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the nonirnmigrant visa petition in a decision dated 
June 1,2004. The matter is now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be 
summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner is a start-up corporation, established in 2003. The petitioner seeks to employ the beneficiary as its 
President for a period of ten years. The director denied the petition, finding that the petitioner failed to establish 
that the beneficiary satisfied the regulatory standard for an alien with extraordinary ability in business. * 
On appeal, the petitioner states as the reason for the appeal: "due to the complexity of [the beneficiary's] 
proprietary know-how, [the petitioning organization] will not realize success without his day to day involvement 
in this soon to be started business and his extraordinary executive and managerial abilities. [The beneficiary] is 
the inventor of a new and innovative business method that is the basic concept of [the petitioning organization] 
and a patent pending application." 
Section 10 l(a)(15)(0)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1 10 l(aX1 5)(O)(i), provides 
classification to a qualified alien who has extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or 
athletics which has been demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim or, with regard to motion 
picture and television productions, has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement, and whose 
achievements have been recognized in the field through extensive documentation, and seeks to enter the United 
States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability. 
The petitioner failed to address specifically the grounds for denial set forth in the decision of the director. 
The regulation at 8 C.F.R. 8 103.3(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. 
Inasmuch as the petitioner has failed to identi@ specifically an erroneous conclusion of law or a statement of fact 
in this proceeding, the appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
