dismissed L-1A Case: Counseling And Therapy
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove sufficient funding was provided to the U.S. entity from the foreign company. The petitioner submitted bank statements for a personal account, not a corporate one, and the wire transfers originated from an individual, not the claimed foreign entity. Furthermore, the petitioner did not provide a business plan or other evidence to establish the start-up costs, making it impossible to determine if the invested amount was sufficient.
