Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider a previously dismissed appeal was denied. The petitioner, a new office, failed to establish it had been 'doing business' in the U.S. for the previous year as required for an extension. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity, as the company lacked any subordinate staff for the beneficiary to manage.
Criteria Discussed
Doing Business For Previous Year (New Office Extension) Employment In Executive Capacity
