L-1A Dismissed — Restaurant: did not establish it had secured sufficient physical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had secured sufficient physical premises to house its new office. The lease agreement submitted was in the name of an affiliate company, not the petitioner, and the arguments regarding the corporate structure did not overcome the director's finding on this issue.
