L-1A Dismissed โ Information Technology (2008): did not establish the beneficiary had been employed abroad,
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had been employed abroad, or would be employed in the United States, in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found that the beneficiary appeared to be a team leader on various projects but lacked traditional managerial authority, such as the power to hire and fire employees or manage a specific subdivision, and the petitioner's arguments on appeal did not overcome this finding.
Criteria Discussed
