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 was vague, and its growth projections were unsubstantiated, providing no credible evidence that the beneficiary would be primarily engaged in qualifying duties rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of a small retail business.
Criteria Discussed
