L-1A Dismissed — Wood Flooring (2008): did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The petitioner's business plan and proposed organizational chart were deemed insufficient, particularly as counsel admitted that the job duties for proposed subordinate staff had not yet been formalized, meaning the beneficiary would not be relieved of performing non-qualifying day-to-day tasks.
Criteria Discussed
