Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the two main requirements for an L-1A new office extension. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, nor did it establish that the U.S. entity was actively doing business for the required one-year period.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Or Executive Capacity Doing Business For One Year Staffing
