dismissed L-1A Case: Food Service
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to credibly establish the beneficiary's one year of continuous employment abroad in a managerial capacity. The petitioner initially submitted documents showing an employment start date of December 2003, but later claimed this was a typo and the actual start date was December 2002. This contradictory evidence, provided only after a request for evidence, was deemed unpersuasive.
