Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was properly revoked. The director found the initial approval involved 'gross error' primarily because the petitioning company was not a legal entity at the time of filing, having been administratively dissolved by the state. Additionally, the director determined the petitioner failed to establish it was a qualifying employer or that the beneficiary's proposed activities met the regulatory definition of an 'event'.
