L-1A Dismissed โ Import/Export (2020): did not establish it had secured sufficient physical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish that it had secured sufficient physical premises to house its new office at the time of filing. The evidence of a business location was dated months after the petition was filed, and eligibility must be established at the time of filing. Since this issue was dispositive, the AAO did not address other grounds for denial, such as the Beneficiary's role.
