L-1A Dismissed โ Lighting Products (2021): did not establish the beneficiary's position in the U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's position in the U.S. is primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. Although the petitioner provided a list of high-level duties, the AAO determined that given the small size of the company and limited staff, the beneficiary would likely be engaged in day-to-day operational activities rather than primarily directing the organization.
