dismissed L-1A Case: Dental Products
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that its new U.S. office would be able to support an executive or managerial position within one year of the petition's approval. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence, including the business plan, was insufficient to show a realistic expectation of success and expansion that would necessitate a qualifying managerial role for the beneficiary.
