L-1A Dismissed โ Retail (2006): did not establish its U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that its U.S. 'new office' had been 'doing business' for the entire previous year, which is a requirement for an L-1A extension. The evidence demonstrated that the petitioner only commenced business operations one month before the expiration of the beneficiary's initial one-year status, failing to meet the regulatory standard.
