L-1A Dismissed — Food Import/Export (2006): did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the new U.S. operation would support a managerial or executive position within one year. The petitioner did not provide a comprehensive business plan, evidence of the size of the U.S. investment, or other documentation to show a realistic expectation that the new office would grow to a point where it would require a manager performing primarily qualifying duties.
