dismissed L-1A Case: Ceramics
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 the beneficiary's duties and the company's staffing did not support such a claim. The AAO also noted as an additional reason for denial that the extension petition was filed untimely, almost four months after the expiration of the initial 'new office' petition.
