A Nigerian Care Founder Opens a U.S. Office on an L-1 After an RFE

Lahaina Araneta helped a Nigerian healthcare entrepreneur secure an L-1A new office approval to open the U.S. arm of his company, after a Request for Evidence (RFE). The case documented his managerial role since the company's founding, the qualifying relationship between its international and U.S. entities, and a business plan showing the new office could support U.S. operations. The approval also positions him for a future EB-1C Green Card as a multinational manager.
