Dismissed L-1A

L-1A Dismissed โ€” Pharmaceuticals (2005): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed

๐Ÿ“… 2005-02-27 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Pharmaceuticals

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded that the proposed duties did not meet the statutory definitions, particularly given the small number of U.S. employees, and the petitioner's arguments on appeal were not sufficient to overcome this finding.
