L-1A Dismissed — Print Media Distribution (2005): the petitioner failed to overcome the director's initial

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's initial findings. The AAO confirmed that the U.S. entity was a 'new office' subject to specific regulatory requirements, which the petitioner's counsel had contested. The petitioner did not successfully establish that the beneficiary was employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity abroad or that the new U.S. office would be able to support such a position within one year.
