Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the foreign entity was a 'qualifying organization.' Although the director incorrectly failed to apply the 'new office' standards, the petitioner did not submit sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the foreign entity was actively 'doing business' abroad, providing no proof of business activity beyond simple assertions in letters.
