L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2009): did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a managerial or executive position within one year. The submitted business plan contained conflicting investment figures, unsubstantiated financial projections, and the company's bank account balance was insufficient to cover the proposed start-up costs and salaries.
