Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it was "doing business" in the United States as required. The director's decision was based on the petitioner's failure to file federal income tax returns for three years, discrepancies with its IRS tax identification number, and SEC filings that showed the company had never generated revenue and had temporarily ceased operations.
