dismissed
L-1A
dismissed L-1A Case: Unknown
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner sought to amend the beneficiary's status from L-1B to L-1A, but the requested employment dates were entirely after the expiration of the original L-1B petition. Therefore, it was not a true amendment. As the beneficiary had reached the five-year maximum for an L-1B and the petitioner failed to file the change of status petition at least six months prior to this limit, the beneficiary was ineligible for an extension or change of status.
