remanded L-1A Case: Persian Rug Retail
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition based on U.S. economic sanctions against Iran, concluding the beneficiary would be working for an Iranian business entity. The AAO remanded the case, finding that the director did not fully consider the petitioner's argument that the beneficiary was already in the U.S. and would be employed exclusively by the U.S. corporation, potentially falling outside the scope of the sanctions.
