L-1A Dismissed — Furniture (2024): did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would be able to support a managerial or executive position within one year. The petitioner relied on a future investment from the sale of the beneficiary's personal property, which occurred after the petition was filed and was not an asset of the foreign company. The foreign parent company's own financial documents showed it lacked the funds to pay the beneficiary and commence business in the U.S. at the time of filing.
Criteria Discussed
