dismissed L-1A Case: Home Renovation And Repair
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises for the new office at the time of filing. The initial property was zoned for residential use, and the subsequent rental was a storage unit with a lease agreement explicitly prohibiting its use for any purpose other than storage, despite conflicting letters submitted on appeal.
