EB-1C Dismissed — Retail Distribution (2011): did not establish it had been doing business for at least

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had been doing business for at least one year prior to filing the petition. The petitioner was incorporated in March 2008 and filed the petition in July 2008, and its recent acquisition of an older company was not sufficient to meet the one-year requirement for the petitioning entity itself.
