dismissed L-1A Case: Retail Hardware
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. operation would support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. Although the director's initial reasoning regarding current staffing was flawed for a 'new office' petition, the AAO conducted a de novo review and ultimately agreed that the petitioner did not meet the eligibility requirements.
