Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity after the initial one-year 'new office' period. The petitioner's request for an extension based on delays caused by an unscrupulous immigration consultant was rejected, as regulations do not allow for the one-year startup period to be extended. The AAO also noted that the petitioner's corporate status in Florida had been administratively dissolved, further questioning its eligibility.
