L-1A Dismissed โ Software: did not establish eligibility at the time of filing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time of filing. The director initially denied the petition for lack of a qualifying relationship, insufficient physical premises, and failure to prove the beneficiary's managerial role. The petitioner attempted to correct the ownership structure on appeal, but this change occurred after the director's decision, and a petition cannot be approved based on facts established after the filing date.
Criteria Discussed
