L-1A Remanded — Advertising Technology (2023): the appeal was remanded
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded. The AAO agreed with the Director that deference to the prior 'new office' approval was inappropriate because the evidentiary standards for an extension petition are materially different. However, the case was sent back because the Director's denial was procedurally flawed, having disregarded some evidence and relied on other evidence without providing proper notice to the petitioner.
