L-1A Dismissed โ Import/Export (2021): did not establish the beneficiary had one continuous year
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary had one continuous year of qualifying employment abroad, particularly as the beneficiary had spent significant time in the United States during the relevant period. Additionally, the petitioner did not sufficiently prove that the beneficiary's role with the foreign employer was primarily in a managerial or executive capacity, as the duties were not clearly articulated or supported by evidence.
Criteria Discussed
