L-1A Remanded — Leather Goods Import/Export (2007): the director denied the petition, finding the petitioner

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a managerial or executive position within one year. The AAO remanded the case, finding that while the initial petition was deficient, the director's subsequent Request for Evidence was too narrow and did not give the petitioner a sufficient opportunity to provide comprehensive evidence, such as a business plan, to meet the new office requirements.
