dismissed L-1A Case: Import/Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises for its new office at the time the petition was filed. The evidence submitted, a month-to-month contract for a flea market kiosk, was deemed insufficient for the proposed import/export business. The petitioner also failed to resolve issues regarding the funding of the U.S. company and the qualifications of the foreign entity's employees.
