L-1A Dismissed โ Tourism And Import/Export (2016): did not establish the U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the U.S. new office would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The Director concluded that the evidence of record, including the beneficiary's proposed duties, did not demonstrate that the role would be relieved of non-qualifying operational tasks necessary to run a new business.
