EB-1C Dismissed — Marketing (2017): 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 at least one year prior to filing. The AAO found that initial marketing efforts without completed sales transactions or revenue did not meet the regulatory definition. Additionally, the petitioner did not sufficiently prove that the beneficiary had the required one year of qualifying employment abroad, failing to resolve discrepancies regarding his country of residence and work location.
