sustained L-1A Case: Garment Import/Export
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding that the petitioner had not established that the new U.S. office would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner provided sufficient evidence, including early growth to five employees and a detailed organizational structure, to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be performing qualifying executive and managerial duties.
