Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had been 'doing business' for one full year prior to filing the petition. Although the petitioner submitted evidence of business activity, it only covered an eight-month period, falling short of the regulatory requirement for extending a 'new office' L-1A petition.
