Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements for an L-1A extension for a new office. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, nor did they establish that the U.S. entity had been 'doing business' for the previous year as required.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Or Executive Capacity Doing Business For One Year
