L-1A Dismissed — Apparel (2008): did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would be able to support a managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner's business plan and projections were not sufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be relieved of performing non-qualifying operational tasks within the first year.
