L-1A Dismissed — Apparel Retail (2009): 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 support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The director noted that the petitioner had altered its business plans after the initial filing, which undermined the credibility of its projected growth and ability to support the beneficiary's proposed high-level role.
Criteria Discussed
