Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity as required for an L-1A extension. The evidence showed the beneficiary's duties were heavily operational (marketing, bookkeeping, social media), and the petitioner could not prove it employed other staff to handle these tasks, leading to the conclusion that the beneficiary was not primarily managing.
