dismissed L-1A Case: Software And Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the intended new U.S. office would support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence, including the business plan and organizational charts, was insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be relieved from performing non-managerial, day-to-day operational tasks.
