Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was granted to address the merits, but the underlying petition's denial was affirmed. The petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity, as required for an L-1A extension after a 'new office' period. The evidence, including low annual income and only three employees, indicated the business was still in a start-up phase, suggesting the beneficiary was not relieved from performing operational duties.
