Dismissed
L-1A
L-1A Dismissed — Food Production (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. office would support a managerial or executive position within one year of approval. Specifically, there was no evidence of investment from the foreign entity; instead, the evidence indicated the beneficiary was using personal funds to capitalize the business. Additionally, the petitioner's corporate status in Texas was not in good standing, which independently rendered it ineligible for the visa classification.
