L-1A Dismissed โ Manufacturing (2005): did not establish two key requirements for a new office
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements for a new office extension. First, it did not prove that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, rather than performing day-to-day operational tasks. Second, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the U.S. entity had been sufficiently 'doing business' for the year preceding the filing of the extension petition.
