L-1A Dismissed — Logistics (2020): did not establish the foreign entity was 'doing business'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the foreign entity was 'doing business' as required, as its tax returns showed minimal sales and losses, and no new evidence was submitted on appeal. Furthermore, the petitioner did not contest the Director's finding that the beneficiary would not be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity in the U.S., which was therefore deemed a waived issue.
Criteria Discussed
Doing Business One Year Of Foreign Employment Managerial/Executive Capacity Abroad Managerial/Executive Capacity In The U.S. Qualifying Relationship Temporary Nature Of Employment Beneficiary'S Qualifications
