dismissed L-1A Case: Construction/Installation
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition to extend L-1A status for a new office, and the appeal was dismissed. The denial was based on the petitioner's failure to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, and that the U.S. entity had been sufficiently 'doing business' for the previous year as required for an extension.
