The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would be able to support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not submit adequate documentation for its business plan or show how the beneficiary would be relieved of non-qualifying duties as the company grew.
