dismissed L-1A Case: Educational Materials
Decision Summary
The director denied the L-1A new office extension petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, that the U.S. company was 'doing business' as required, or that it had secured sufficient physical premises. On appeal, counsel failed to submit a promised brief or additional evidence to overcome these deficiencies, leading the AAO to dismiss the appeal based on the existing record.
