dismissed L-1A Case: Jewelry
Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed the director's denial, upholding four grounds of ineligibility. The key issues were that the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship, that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a managerial capacity, and that sufficient physical premises were secured. Additionally, the director determined the petition was barred by U.S. economic sanctions against Iran, and the petitioner did not rebut this finding.
