dismissed EB-1C Case: Shoe Wholesale
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. Evidence showed the U.S. entity was still in a market research phase, mailing catalogs and gauging response, rather than engaging in the required regular, systematic, and continuous provision of goods or services.
Criteria Discussed
Doing Business For At Least One Year Managerial Or Executive Capacity
