Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish key requirements for an L-1A new office. The director initially denied the petition for three reasons: (1) insufficient physical premises, (2) the beneficiary was not employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity, and (3) no qualifying relationship was established. The AAO agreed with the director's findings, noting that the evidence submitted regarding the shared business space was insufficient to meet the regulatory requirements.
