L-1A Dismissed — Aviation (2019): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial capacity in the United States. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's proposed duties included many non-qualifying operational tasks, and the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that he would delegate these tasks to subordinates rather than performing them himself.
Criteria Discussed
