Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not contest the finding that the U.S. new office could not support a managerial position after its initial one-year period. The petitioner's argument on appeal, that it should be granted a second 'new office' petition, was rejected as the beneficiary was already in the U.S. and no extraordinary circumstances prevented the business from operating during the first year.
