L-1A Dismissed — Art Sales (2008): the appeal was dismissed based on a U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed based on a U.S. Consulate memorandum that found numerous "fraud indicators." A site visit to the foreign company's claimed address found no evidence of its operations, and during an interview, the beneficiary was unable to answer basic questions about the proposed U.S. business. The AAO upheld the director's finding of material misrepresentation, rendering the petitioner ineligible for the benefit sought.
