L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2008): 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 be able to support a managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director and the AAO found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate the size of the U.S. investment and the financial ability of the foreign entity to commence doing business. Specifically, the submitted business sale agreement was preliminary and contingent, and the evidence did not adequately establish the financial capacity to fund the new venture.
