EB-1C Dismissed — Sporting Goods Distribution (2020): the appeal was dismissed primarily on procedural grounds,
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily on procedural grounds, as it was filed untimely and the petitioner failed to prove they had notified USCIS of a change of address. Substantively, the AAO noted the petition was not approvable because the record clearly showed the petitioner had not been doing business for the required minimum of one year prior to filing the petition.
