Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be primarily employed in a managerial or executive capacity, as required for the L-1A classification. The Director and the AAO found that the description of the beneficiary's duties was vague, incomplete, and did not demonstrate that he would be relieved of performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, given the petitioner's limited staffing.
