dismissed L-1A Case: Retail Food Market
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the intended new U.S. operation, a small retail food market, would grow sufficiently to support a managerial or executive position within one year. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the submitted business plan and financial projections were vague and uncorroborated, and the evidence was insufficient to show that the beneficiary would primarily perform qualifying managerial duties.
