Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, a key requirement for an L-1A extension. The director found that the petitioner, which had the beneficiary as its sole employee, failed to show that the beneficiary's role was primarily to direct the enterprise rather than to perform its day-to-day operational tasks. The petitioner also failed to establish that it had been 'doing business' for the previous year as required for a new office extension.
