Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the Director misinterpreted two key requirements for an L-1 blanket petition. The AAO clarified that the petitioner correctly met the requirement of having three or more domestic and foreign branches/subsidiaries, correcting the Director's assertion that they must be domestic. The AAO also found the petitioner satisfied the $25 million annual sales requirement, as the Director had incorrectly interpreted financial documents by only considering revenue from US-based customers instead of the US entity's total revenue.
