L-1A Dismissed — Wire Transfer: did not establish it had been "doing business" for the

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to demonstrate it had been "doing business" for the previous year as required for an extension. The petitioner only obtained its required business license two days before the denial and five months after applying, with no explanation for the delay or evidence of other business activities during the one-year period. The late acquisition of the license did not overcome the failure to meet the regulatory requirement of regular, systematic, and continuous business activity.
