L-1A Dismissed — International Trade (2007): did not establish the financial viability of the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the financial viability of the new U.S. office as required for an L-1A new office petition. The director initially denied the case for lack of sufficient physical premises and inadequate funding. On appeal, the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of the U.S. investment and the foreign entity's financial ability to support the new enterprise, as the submitted bank statements did not show that any funds originated from the foreign parent company.
