L-1A Dismissed — Food Service (2006): did not establish the intended U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the intended U.S. operation, a new office, would support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The director noted a lack of complexity in the proposed operation, and the petitioner failed to submit a requested franchise agreement before the initial adjudication, which the AAO refused to consider on appeal.
