L-1A Dismissed — Import/Catering (2017): 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 of approval. The petitioner submitted inconsistent information regarding its organizational structure and hiring plans, which were not supported by adequate financial projections. This made it unclear whether sufficient staff would be hired to relieve the Beneficiary from performing non-executive and non-managerial tasks.
Criteria Discussed
