L-1A Dismissed — Radio Broadcasting And Advertising (2011): did not establish eligibility at the time of filing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time of filing. Specifically, the petitioner admitted it had not secured sufficient physical premises to house the new office when the petition was submitted, which is a requirement for a new office L-1A petition. A lease agreement submitted on appeal could not cure this deficiency, as eligibility must exist at the time the petition is filed.
Criteria Discussed
