dismissed L-1A Case: Apparel
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the foreign entity had made a sufficient financial investment to establish the new U.S. office. The petitioner attributed the lack of direct investment to Venezuelan currency restrictions, claiming the initial funds were a loan from the beneficiary. However, the petitioner did not adequately explain or document why the foreign company was prevented from transferring funds while the beneficiary was supposedly able to do so.
