Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish several required elements for the L-1A visa extension for a new office. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary was primarily performing duties in a managerial or executive capacity, noting discrepancies in staffing and tax documents that suggested the beneficiary was engaged in day-to-day operational activities. The petitioner also failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities and that both were actively doing business.
