L-1A Dismissed — Software: the appeal was dismissed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. The director initially found the evidence insufficient to establish that the petitioner was 'doing business,' had secured sufficient physical premises, had enough funding, and that the beneficiary would serve in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. While the AAO withdrew the director's finding that the U.S. entity was merely an agent, the overall dismissal of the appeal indicates the petitioner failed to overcome the other deficiencies.
Criteria Discussed
Doing Business Sufficient Physical Premises Managerial Or Executive Capacity Sufficient Funding / Capitalization New Office Agent Or Representative Office
