dismissed L-1A Case: Business
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. Although the AAO withdrew the director's finding that the foreign entity was not 'doing business' abroad, the failure to prove the beneficiary's managerial role was fatal to the petition.
