dismissed EB-1C Case: Retail And Auto Rental
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 by 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(j)(3)(i)(D). The petitioner was incorporated less than one year before filing the Form I-140, and its argument that it was a successor-in-interest to an older company was insufficient to meet the requirement that the petitioner itself must satisfy the one-year rule.
