L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2001): did not establish the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to establish that the U.S. operation would be able to support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year of approval. The director determined the evidence was insufficient to show the business would develop to a point where it could sustain such a position, and the AAO agreed with this conclusion.
