Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that it had been 'doing business' for the previous year as required for a new office extension. The AAO found that the submitted evidence, such as invoices and service agreements, did not name the petitioner and was therefore insufficient to establish the company's operations during the required period.
