Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to specifically identify any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the original decision. The AAO noted that while the petitioner blamed consular delays and the COVID-19 pandemic for failing to implement its business plan and hire staff, these factors did not excuse the lack of progress during the one-year 'new office' period mandated by regulations.
