L-1A Dismissed โ Franchise Retail (2010): did not establish it had secured sufficient physical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had secured sufficient physical premises to house the new office at the time the petition was filed. The lease agreement submitted as evidence was executed several months after the filing date, and eligibility must be established when the petition is filed, not at a later date.
