remanded L-1A Case: Electronic Payment Services
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the U.S. company was established more than one year before filing and was therefore not considered a 'new office', and it failed to show it was 'doing business'. The AAO remanded the case, reasoning that the director erred by not applying the 'new office' regulations, as evidence indicated the company had not yet commenced regular business operations despite its formation date.
