Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it was 'doing business' for the previous year, a requirement for extending a 'new office' L-1A petition. The petitioner acknowledged its manufacturing plant was not yet operational due to electrical problems, and thus was not providing goods or services regularly. As a result, the petitioner also could not prove that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity.
