L-1A Dismissed — Pharmaceuticals (2004): did not establish the U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. new office would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of operation. The director found that the beneficiary's proposed duties were more focused on day-to-day operational tasks inherent to a start-up, rather than meeting the definitions of a manager or executive.
Criteria Discussed
