Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate it was 'doing business' in the United States as required. The AAO found there was insufficient documentary evidence, such as customs forms or a warehouse lease, to substantiate the petitioner's claim of operating a freight and import/export company, beyond the mere ownership of two trucks and a small office.
