dismissed L-1A Case: Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a qualifying managerial or executive position within one year. Although the AAO withdrew one ground for denial related to securing sufficient physical premises, it found the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary would primarily perform managerial duties rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of the new business.
