L-1A Dismissed — Leather Goods Importation: the motion to reopen was granted because new evidence was

Decision Summary

The motion to reopen was granted because new evidence was submitted, but the original denial was affirmed and the appeal ultimately dismissed. The petitioner provided evidence of a new lease, a new employee, and recent bank statements, but this evidence was all dated after the initial petition filing date. A petitioner must establish eligibility at the time of filing, and evidence created after this date cannot be used to cure deficiencies in the original petition.
