L-1A Dismissed — Film And Television Production (2018): did not establish the foreign entity was still a qualifying

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the foreign entity was still a qualifying organization. Investigators found the foreign office had been abandoned for months, indicating it was no longer "doing business," a core requirement for the L-1A visa. The petitioner's claims of a landlord dispute and continued operations from a temporary location were found to be inconsistent and were not supported by sufficient credible evidence.
