Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner requested an extension of the beneficiary's status to continue opening a new office. The regulations permit a maximum of one year for this purpose, a period which had already been granted and had expired. The director correctly found that there is no provision to extend this specific one-year 'new office' period, regardless of the beneficiary's late entry to the U.S. or an erroneously issued Form I-94.
