L-1A Dismissed — Industrial Wholesale (2008): 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 an executive or managerial position within one year. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as a clear staffing plan, to demonstrate how a subordinate staff would relieve the beneficiary of performing non-qualifying, day-to-day operational tasks.
