EB-1C Dismissed — Construction (2005): did not establish it had been doing business in the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had been doing business in the U.S. for the required one-year period prior to filing the petition; counsel's own statement confirmed the company was less than a year old. The AAO also noted additional deficiencies, including the failure to prove the beneficiary's qualifying employment abroad, the proposed managerial/executive role in the U.S., and the qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities.
