dismissed L-1A Case: Construction And Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. new office would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that there was insufficient evidence to show that the proposed business operations would develop to a point where they would require a manager or executive performing qualifying duties.
