dismissed L-1A Case: Air Filter Products
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, as required for an L-1A visa extension. The director's initial denial, upheld by the AAO, concluded that the described duties did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's role from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, especially given the small size of the new office.
