dismissed L-1A Case: Export Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the requirements for establishing a new office. The director found, and the AAO upheld, that the petitioner did not establish that sufficient physical premises had been secured, that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, or that the new U.S. operation would support a managerial or executive position within one year.
