Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to establish two key requirements for an extension. First, it did not prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, especially since the company had no other employees. Second, it failed to demonstrate that the U.S. entity had been sufficiently 'doing business' for the previous year, as evidenced by very low revenue and a lack of paid staff.
