dismissed L-1A Case: Design And Advertising
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO withdrew the director's finding on the lack of a qualifying relationship, the director had denied the petition on three other grounds. The dismissal indicates the petitioner failed to overcome the other grounds for denial, such as establishing that the beneficiary was employed in a managerial or executive capacity abroad and that the new U.S. office would support such a role within one year.
Criteria Discussed
