Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate it had been 'doing business' for the previous year, a requirement for extending a new office L-1A petition. The petitioner delayed applying for its necessary wire transmitter license for many months and provided no evidence of any business activities during the beneficiary's initial one-year stay. Obtaining the license just before the visa's expiration did not excuse the petitioner from meeting the regulatory requirements for the extension.
