dismissed L-1A Case: Handbag Sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The AAO agreed with the director that the evidence did not demonstrate that the company would be sufficiently staffed to relieve the beneficiary from performing the non-managerial, day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
