Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office seeking an extension, failed to prove it had been 'doing business' for the previous year. The director found the evidence submitted, such as invoices and service agreements, was deficient because none of the documents actually named the petitioning company, thus failing to link the claimed business activities to the U.S. entity.
