L-1A Dismissed — Software Development (2021): did not establish it had secured sufficient physical

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to prove it had secured sufficient physical premises at the time of filing. A USCIS site visit revealed the business address was an apartment where the beneficiary lived, with an 'office' consisting of a laptop on a coffee table, which was deemed insufficient to house the claimed number of employees. The petitioner did not submit credible evidence, such as a lease, to rebut the finding that the statements in the original petition regarding its premises were not true and correct.
