dismissed L-1A Case: Import/Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity by the foreign entity. The evidence submitted, including job descriptions, was found to be insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's duties were primarily managerial or executive rather than operational. The AAO affirmed the director's finding, rejecting the petitioner's claim that the beneficiary's foreign role was not a basis for the initial denial.
