Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to establish that the U.S. operation would support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year of approval. The director initially denied the case on this basis and also for failing to prove the petitioner was 'doing business,' and the AAO agreed with the negative determination.
