L-1A Dismissed โ Printing (2007): 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 primarily managerial or executive capacity for the new office extension. The director initially denied the petition on this basis, and on appeal, the petitioner's arguments regarding the supervision of independent contractors were not found to be persuasive, particularly given the small staffing of the U.S. entity.
