L-1A Dismissed โ Buttons And Accessories (2008): 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 a managerial or executive position within one year. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence regarding the scope, staffing, or organization of the proposed U.S. operation, nor did it substantiate its claims about a planned business acquisition or its financial projections. The business plan indicated no immediate hiring, suggesting the beneficiary would primarily perform operational tasks rather than managerial duties.
