L-1A Dismissed — Furniture (2005): the director denied the petition, finding the U.S

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, finding the U.S. entity was not a new office and that the beneficiary would not be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The AAO withdrew the director's finding regarding the new office, concluding the petitioner did qualify under this provision. However, the appeal was ultimately dismissed because the AAO found the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. operation would support a managerial or executive position within one year.
