L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2007): did not establish the foreign entity was 'doing business'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the foreign entity was 'doing business' at the time the petition was filed. Although the AAO withdrew the director's finding that the U.S. entity was not doing business, the failure to prove the foreign entity was also an active business meant they could not be considered 'qualifying organizations' as required for the visa.
