L-1A Dismissed — Office Furniture (2005): the director denied the petition for two reasons: failure

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition for two reasons: failure to establish the U.S. entity was a 'new office' and failure to show the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial/executive capacity. The AAO withdrew the director's finding on the 'new office' issue, concluding the petitioner did qualify. However, the appeal was ultimately dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. operation would support an executive or managerial position within one year.
