L-1A Dismissed — Retail Management (2008): did not establish the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. entity would employ the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. Specifically, as a new office, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the intended U.S. operation would support a managerial position within one year of approval. Furthermore, the AAO noted that the U.S. company was inactive and had been administratively dissolved.
