Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, determining that the petitioner did not qualify as a 'new office' and failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found that the director erred by not treating the petitioner as a new company, distinct from the beneficiary's previous L-1A employer, and remanded the case for adjudication under the correct 'new office' regulations.
