dismissed L-1A Case: Auto Parts Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. entity had been 'doing business' for the required one-year period for a new office extension. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, failing to provide a clear apportionment of duties or evidence of a staffing structure to support such a role.
