dismissed L-1A Case: Improvement Services
Decision Summary
The petition was initially denied because the petitioner had not established that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the director's finding and noting that the small size of the U.S. company and the vague job description failed to prove the beneficiary would not be primarily engaged in performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
