L-1A Dismissed — Manufacturing: the petitioner could not file for a second 'new office'

Decision Summary

The AAO affirmed the director's decision to treat the petition as one from an established organization, which was denied for failing to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, particularly due to insufficient staffing.
