Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements for a 'new office' L-1A petition. The petitioner did not provide credible evidence that it had secured sufficient physical premises at the time of filing, as its claims of a 'lease sharing' arrangement were inconsistent and uncorroborated. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the new enterprise would be able to support a managerial or executive position within one year of approval.
