L-1A Dismissed โ Smart Grid Development (2023): did not establish it was actively 'doing business' in the
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove it was actively 'doing business' in the United States as required. A site visit revealed the business was closing, and the evidence provided, such as contracts with an accounting firm, only showed the petitioner was receiving services, not providing goods or services in a regular, systematic, and continuous manner.
