L-1A Dismissed — International Trade: did not establish it had secured sufficient physical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish it had secured sufficient physical premises to house the new office. The proposed office was the beneficiary's personal residence, and the occupational license for the premises contained significant restrictions, such as prohibiting employees, clients, or work on-site, making it unsuitable for the claimed business operations.
