dismissed L-1A Case: Consulting Services
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. The director found the petitioner did not demonstrate it could support such a position, especially given the company's staffing and the need to differentiate the beneficiary's role from day-to-day operational tasks. A critical issue also raised was the petitioner's legal status, as it had been administratively dissolved, calling into question its existence as a qualifying organization.
