MATTER OF N-Y-J-
APPEAL OF VERMONT SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: JAN. 31.2018 
PETITION: FORM I-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a pattern maker and fashion designer. 
It seeks to classify him as an 0-1 nonimmigrant, a visa classification available to foreign nationals 
who can demonstrate their extraordinary ability through sustained national or international acclaim 
and whose achievements have been recognized in the field through extensive documentation. See 
Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section IOI(a)(IS)(O)(i), 8 U.S.C. ยง 1101(a)(15)(0)(i). 
The Director of the Vermont Service Center denied the petition. The matter is now before us on 
appeal. Upon review, we will summarily dismiss the appeal. 
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. 
8 C.F.R. ยง 1 03.3(a)(l )(v). 
On the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, the Petitioner stated that a brief or additional 
evidence would be submitted within 30 days of filing. However. the statement the Petitioner 
submitted in support of the appeal does not specifically identify an erroneous conclusion of law or 
statement of fact in the decision being appealed. Because the Petitioner has not identified any 
specific, erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the Director's decision below. the 
appeal must be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is summarily dismissed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. ยง 103.3(a)(1)(v).
