dismissed L-1A Case: Investment And Sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity, as the evidence suggested the beneficiary would be involved in day-to-day operations rather than strategic management. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the U.S. entity had been sufficiently 'doing business' for the prior year, a requirement for extending a 'new office' petition.
Criteria Discussed
