L-1A Dismissed — Exporting Used Copying Machines (2006): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
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 concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence provided was insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's duties were primarily managerial or executive rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, a key requirement for an L-1A visa extension.
