dismissed L-1A Case: Import And Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises to house the new office as of the filing date. The petitioner submitted a 'Virtual Services Agreement' which provided for a mailbox and access to shared facilities, but this was not considered actual, sufficient office space for the proposed business operations. The AAO concluded the evidence did not prove that any office space had been secured.
