Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had been "doing business" for the previous year, a key requirement for an L-1A new office extension. The AAO found the evidence of its various business activities—including a hotel renovation, property management, and short-term rentals—was insufficient to demonstrate the regular, systematic, and continuous provision of services required to support a managerial or executive employee.
