dismissed L-1A Case: Import/Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. operation would support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The petitioner provided a vague business plan with unsubstantiated financial projections and failed to detail the duties of subordinate staff, making it impossible to determine if the beneficiary would be primarily performing qualifying managerial duties rather than day-to-day operational tasks.
