Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had been doing business for at least one year prior to filing the petition, as required. Although the petitioner submitted documents for two retail stores it claimed to own, it did not provide evidence that the petitioner entity itself was conducting the business operations. The AAO upheld the director's finding on this ground, making it unnecessary to address the second issue regarding the beneficiary's proposed managerial or executive capacity.
