EB-1C Dismissed — Oil And Gas (2006): did not establish its U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove its U.S. branch office was actively 'doing business' per regulations. The petitioner did not submit evidence, such as service contracts, to demonstrate the regular, systematic, and continuous provision of goods or services. Although the AAO found the petitioner had the ability to pay the proffered wage, the failure to establish that the U.S. entity was operational was a fatal flaw in the petition.
