L-1A Dismissed — Electronics (2022): the petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was rejected for failing to meet the required evidentiary standards (Matter of Lozada). Therefore, the AAO would not consider the petitioner's attempt to change the beneficiary's role from executive to functional manager on appeal. Reviewing the original petition, the AAO affirmed the denial, noting that the petitioner conceded it lacked sufficient staffing to support the claimed executive position.
