L-1A Dismissed — Information Technology (2019): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity in the United States. The Director found the beneficiary's job description included operational and day-to-day tasks inconsistent with an executive role, such as hitting sales targets and providing technical support. The revisions and additional evidence submitted on appeal did not sufficiently resolve these inconsistencies or prove the beneficiary would be relieved from performing non-qualifying duties.
