L-1A Dismissed — Mining (2003): did not establish it was a 'qualifying organization' that

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove it was a 'qualifying organization' that was 'doing business' in the United States. The director's denial was based on the petitioner's failure to file federal income tax returns for the previous three years and discrepancies with its employer tax identification number, which raised serious doubts about the company's legitimacy. Evidence showed the company had not yet begun commercial production or generated revenue, failing to meet the standard of providing regular, systematic, and continuous services.
