Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had been 'doing business' for the previous year, a requirement for a new office extension. The petitioner provided inconsistent descriptions of its business and submitted evidence, such as invoices and bank statements, that was dated after the petition's filing date, which cannot be used to establish eligibility at the time of filing.
