dismissed EB-1C Case: Food Service
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it was 'doing business' at the time of filing. The AAO found that the record lacked documentary evidence to prove that the petitioning organization, as opposed to an individual, was the entity actually managing or operating the 'Subway' franchise. Unsupported assertions by counsel were deemed insufficient to meet the petitioner's burden of proof.
Criteria Discussed
Doing Business For At Least One Year Managerial Or Executive Capacity
