dismissed EB-1C Case: Research And Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The initial petition lacked a specific description of duties, and the AAO found the evidence insufficient to meet the statutory definitions. The AAO also raised concerns about whether a qualifying relationship existed between the U.S. and foreign entities.
