DISCUSSION: The nonimmigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Nebraska Service Center, and is 
now before the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner is a taekwondo school that seeks to employ the beneficiary as an instructor for a period of three 
years. The director denied the petition, finding that the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is "one of 
the small percentage who have arisen to the very top of the field of endeavor" as defined in the pertinent 
regulations. 
On appeal, counsel for the petitioner simply states as the reason for the appeal: "U.S. West Coast Taekwondo 
submitted sufficient evidence that [the beneficiary] is an 0-1 alien of extraordinary ability as a taekwondo 
instructor and athlete." The petitioner further indicated that it would submit a brief andlor additional evidence 
within thirty days of filing the appeal. More than seven months have lapsed since the appeal was filed and 
nothing more has been submitted to the AAO. 
Section lOl(a)(15)(O)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1 10 1 (a)(15)(0)(i), provides 
classification to a qualified alien who has extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, bu~siness, 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.
