L-1A Dismissed โ Management Consulting (2024): did not establish the beneficiary was employed abroad in a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a managerial capacity. The petitioner's own description of the beneficiary's role as a 'Fellow' contradicted claims of managerial duties, instead describing a professional position focused on research, analysis, and support. Furthermore, the petitioner submitted inconsistent evidence, conflating the duties of the junior 'Fellow' role with those of a more senior position the beneficiary did not hold for the requisite period.
