dismissed L-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide evidence, such as recent tax returns or wage reports, to establish that it was currently 'doing business' in a regular, systematic, and continuous manner. Additionally, the AAO found that the petitioner's small size and lack of subordinate employees indicated that the beneficiary would not be employed in a qualifying managerial capacity, but would instead perform non-qualifying operational tasks.
