L-1A Dismissed — Construction Equipment Leasing: did not establish it had secured sufficient physical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove it had secured sufficient physical premises for its new U.S. office, as required for a new office L-1 petition. The evidence, including a short-term 'virtual office' agreement and inconsistent payment records, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a genuine physical location for the business operations.
