The Director's decision was withdrawn because the initial reasons for denial, related to subordinates and work location discrepancies, were found to be insufficient. However, the case was remanded because the AAO found significant new issues regarding the petitioner's credibility and whether it was actually 'doing business' in the U.S. Site visits to multiple claimed addresses revealed only virtual or vacant offices, requiring the petitioner to prove it is engaged in regular, systematic, and continuous business activity at an identifiable location.
