L-1A Dismissed — Gastronomy Consulting (2007): 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 support a managerial or executive position within one year. The business plan was vague, lacked specifics about clients or market research, and the financial projections only allocated salaries for two individuals, contradicting plans to hire more staff. Furthermore, the beneficiary's proposed duties indicated she would spend over 75% of her time performing non-managerial, direct consulting services.
