dismissed L-1A Case: Healthcare Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity within one year of the petition's approval. The AAO found the beneficiary's proposed job duties to be overly vague and generic, lacking sufficient detail to demonstrate how her day-to-day tasks would be primarily executive in nature. The petitioner did not adequately show that the new office would develop sufficiently to support the beneficiary in a role relieved from performing non-qualifying operational tasks.
