Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the foreign entity had sufficiently funded or capitalized the new U.S. office at the time of filing. The petitioner's assertion that funds would be transferred upon approval of the petition was deemed insufficient to meet the regulatory requirement to demonstrate the size of the U.S. investment and the ability to commence business.
