Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that its new office would support the beneficiary in a managerial capacity within one year. The AAO found that the record did not sufficiently document the size of the foreign entity's investment in the U.S. operation, as the initial deposits originated from the personal accounts of the shareholders rather than the foreign company.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Capacity (Foreign Employment) Ability To Support A Manager Within One Year (New Office) New Office Requirements Size Of U.S. Investment
