Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it would be 'doing business,' defined as the regular, systematic, and continuous provision of goods and/or services. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner's plans were too general and lacked specific details on how it would attract clients and conduct continuous operations, especially given the beneficiary's planned absences from the U.S.
