L-1A Dismissed — Information Technology (2022): did not establish sufficient evidence to demonstrate that
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily perform managerial duties, as opposed to operational tasks. Although the job description was adequate, the submitted evidence, such as email exchanges, was insufficient to prove that other employees or vendors relieved the beneficiary from performing the function himself. The AAO also noted a failure to establish eligibility for an extension of status from L-1B to L-1A.
