Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a sufficient investment had been made in the United States operation. The petitioner admitted no funds had actually been transferred, only that they were 'earmarked,' which was insufficient to prove the new office could commence business and support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The AAO also noted that the petitioner failed to credibly define the scope of the U.S. operation or its organizational structure.
