dismissed L-1A Case: Construction Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time of filing the petition. The director's denial was based on the failure to prove that sufficient physical premises had been secured and that the new office could support a managerial or executive position within one year. The evidence provided, such as a lease agreement, was dated after the petition was filed, and eligibility cannot be established based on facts that come into existence after filing.
