EB-1C Dismissed โ Shipping: the director's revocation was affirmed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director's revocation was affirmed. The petitioner failed to demonstrate it was 'doing business' in the U.S. for at least one year prior to filing, as required. The petitioner's own tax filings stated its U.S. activities were limited to 'information gathering and liaising,' which was deemed insufficient to meet the regulatory standard of providing regular, systematic, and continuous goods or services.
Criteria Discussed
