EB-1C Dismissed — Trade (2011): did not establish it had been doing business in the U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had been doing business in the U.S. for at least one year prior to filing the petition. The petition's filing date of July 30, 2007, was less than one year from the petitioner's incorporation date of October 27, 2006. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument for a later filing date and found the claim of being a successor-in-interest to a previously existing company was not sufficiently supported.
