Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises for its new office at the time of filing. The evidence submitted, including a business purchase agreement and a sublease, contained discrepancies and was dated after the filing date. Attempting to submit evidence for a new location after filing was deemed an impermissible material change to a deficient petition.
