dismissed L-1A Case: Electrical Engineering
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 and the AAO found that the beneficiary's described duties, such as designing and implementing electrical engineering projects, were indicative of performing the day-to-day services of the company rather than primarily managing or directing it, especially given the small number of employees.
