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.
