dismissed L-1A Case: Hair Products
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. While the AAO noted the director's initial reasoning regarding current staffing levels was flawed for a 'new office' case, its own de novo review concluded that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate the proposed U.S. operation would support a qualifying managerial or executive position within one year.
Criteria Discussed
