dismissed L-1A Case: International Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to identify any specific error in the director's decision, instead arguing against a point that was not the basis for the denial. The AAO also noted that, independently, the petitioner failed to meet the requirements for a 'new office' extension, as there was no evidence of staffing, doing business for the previous year, or that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity.
