dismissed L-1A Case: Logistics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity. The director concluded that the evidence did not show the beneficiary's duties were primarily managerial, and the petitioner's arguments on appeal, which centered on the beneficiary managing an essential function, did not overcome this finding.
Criteria Discussed
