Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had been 'doing business' in a regular, systematic, and continuous manner for the previous year, as required for a new office L-1A extension. The petitioner argued that the COVID-19 pandemic made compliance impossible, but the AAO found that the record did not show sufficient business activity during the relevant period. The AAO also noted as an additional issue that the evidence did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity.
