L-1A Dismissed โ Commercial Printing (2005): did not establish it had the financial ability to commence
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had the financial ability to commence doing business as a new office in the United States. Despite a business plan mentioning a $100,000 investment and future acquisitions, the petitioner only provided evidence of $5,000 in a U.S. bank account. The AAO found this amount insufficient to operate a viable business and support a managerial or executive position within the required one-year timeframe.
Criteria Discussed
