L-1A Dismissed — Organic Farming: did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a managerial or executive position within one year of opening. The director found the provided business plan and job description vague, lacking specific details about staffing, and failing to show how the beneficiary would be relieved of non-qualifying operational tasks inherent to running a farm.
