Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it was a 'new office' as defined by regulations. The AAO concluded that the petitioner had been 'doing business' in the U.S. since 2005, more than one year prior to filing, based on its continuous revenue and systematic business operations through contractors, thus not qualifying for the provisions for new offices.
