L-1A Dismissed — Electronics (2005): did not establish it had secured sufficient physical

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate it had secured sufficient physical premises for the new U.S. office at the time the petition was filed. The petitioner provided a 'virtual office' agreement initially, and a proper lease agreement was only submitted on appeal, which was dated after the filing. The AAO affirmed the denial, stating that eligibility must be established at the time of filing and new evidence cannot cure a prior deficiency.
