L-1A Dismissed โ Agriculture (2008): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. There was a significant discrepancy between the organizational chart, which showed a large staff, and wage reports, which indicated only two subordinate employees. The duties described for the beneficiary were largely administrative and operational, not the high-level discretionary tasks required for the L-1A classification.
