dismissed L-1A Case: Silver Jewelry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed for multiple reasons. Primarily, the extension petition was filed after the expiration of the initial 'new office' petition, which is not permitted by regulation. Additionally, the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity, as the U.S. operation was not sufficiently staffed after one year to relieve the beneficiary from performing operational tasks.
