Decision Summary

The director found the provided 250 square feet of office space was insufficient for the planned staff of three engineers plus administrative and support staff. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish it had the financial ability to remunerate the beneficiary and commence business in the United States, as the evidence did not show sufficient funds in the U.S. entity.
