EB-1C Dismissed — Retail (2023): did not establish it had been doing business in the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove it had been doing business in the U.S. for at least one year prior to filing the petition. The evidence submitted all post-dated the filing date, and the record lacked any evidence of business activities for the required period. Additionally, the petitioner did not contest the director's finding that the beneficiary was not employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity, thereby waiving the issue.
