DISCUSSION: The Director, Texas Service Center, denied the nonimmigrant visa petition. The matter is now 
before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks 0- 1 classification of the beneficiary, under section 10 l(a)(15)(0)(i) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. $ 1 IOl(a)(15)(0), as an alien with extraordinary ability in business, in order to 
employ her as a project manager for a period of three 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 her field of endeavor. 
On appeal, counsel for the petitioner simply states as the reason for the appeal: "I will submit specific evidence 
particular to the 0-1 regulations showing the beneficiary meets more than one criteria sufficiently to warrant this 
classification." Counsel for the petitioner further indicated that he would submit a brief andlor additional 
evidence within thirty days of filing the appeal. More than one year has lapsed since the appeal was filed and 
nothing more has been submitted to the AAO. 
Section 101(a)(15)(0)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 3 1101(a)(15)(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. 3 103.3(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 identify 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.
