What happens if my L1 petition is denied?

If L1 petition is denied:

• Can file motion to reopen/reconsider (MTR) within 30 days
• Or appeal to Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)
• Or refile with stronger evidence
• Can continue working in foreign office while appealing

Common denial reasons: Insufficient evidence of qualifying relationship, not meeting managerial/executive criteria, specialized knowledge not demonstrated. Work with attorney to strengthen case.
