Decision Summary
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the case was remanded because the Director erred in classifying the petitioner as a 'new office'. The AAO found that the petitioner was an existing business acquired by the beneficiary, and had been doing regular, systematic, and continuous business for over a year prior to the petition filing. Therefore, the more stringent requirements for a new office were not applicable.
