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, a requirement for an L-1A extension. The director concluded that due to the minimal staffing of the U.S. office, the beneficiary was likely performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business rather than primarily managing personnel or a key function. The evidence on appeal was insufficient to overcome this finding.
