dismissed EB-1C Case: Construction
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.
