L-1A Dismissed — Fast Food Restaurants (2004): the motion to reopen was granted to consider new evidence,

Decision Summary

The motion to reopen was granted to consider new evidence, but the previous dismissal of the appeal was affirmed. The AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. entity, a new office, had been 'doing business' for the previous year as required for an L-1A extension. The petitioner had conceded that its primary business, a fast food restaurant, had not yet opened at the time of filing.
