dismissed L-1A Case: Import/Export
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director's denial was based on the lack of evidence proving the beneficiary's role consisted of qualifying duties rather than day-to-day operational tasks, which was not overcome on appeal.
