dismissed L-1A Case: Convenience Store
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office, a convenience store and gas station, would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year. The director's denial was based on the petitioner's failure to demonstrate that the proposed enterprise had a realistic expectation to succeed and expand sufficiently to require a manager performing primarily qualifying duties.
