dismissed L-1A Case: Corporate Communication And Market Research
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 for a new office extension. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's described duties were focused on business development activities rather than managing the organization, and the U.S. entity had no employees for the beneficiary to supervise.
