L-1A Dismissed — Management Consulting (2019): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity in the United States. The Director had initially denied the petition for this reason and also because the petitioner did not establish the beneficiary's employment abroad was in a qualifying capacity. The AAO found the submitted job descriptions to be generic and inconsistent, failing to prove that the beneficiary would primarily perform managerial or executive duties rather than operational tasks.
