L-1A Dismissed — Consulting (2008): did not establish its new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that its new U.S. office would support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The director initially denied the petition for this reason, and on appeal, the AAO concurred that the evidence and description of duties were too vague to demonstrate the beneficiary would primarily perform qualifying managerial or executive tasks rather than operational duties.
Criteria Discussed
New Office Requirements Managerial Capacity Executive Capacity Ability To Support A Manager/Executive Within One Year
