dismissed L-1A Case: Retail Investment
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner filed an extension request on behalf of a new Georgia corporation, a separate legal entity from the beneficiary's original approved employer in New Jersey. The petitioner failed to file a required amended petition to reflect this change and did not establish a qualifying relationship between the new Georgia company and the foreign entity. Consequently, the extension request was not warranted.
