dismissed EB-1C Case: Furniture Retail And Auto Rental
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had been doing business in the United States for at least one year prior to filing the petition. The petitioner was incorporated in February 2004 and filed the petition in December 2004, which is less than the required one-year period. The petitioner's argument that it acquired a pre-existing business was rejected, as the regulation requires the petitioning entity itself to have been doing business for one year.
