dismissed L-1A Case: Travel Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office was sufficiently funded at the time the petition was filed. The petitioner submitted a corporate resolution committing to future funds, but this was deemed insufficient to prove the financial ability to commence business in the United States, a key requirement for a new office petition.
