Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove it had secured sufficient physical premises for the new office, as the lease provided was for a residential apartment and prohibited business activities. The AAO refused to consider a commercial lease submitted for the first time on appeal. Additionally, the petitioner failed to show that the U.S. operation would support a managerial position within one year, lacking sufficient evidence of investment and a detailed business plan.
