L-1A Dismissed โ Real Estate (2016): 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 capacity. The Director's initial denial was based on this finding, and despite the petitioner's arguments on appeal, including its status as a new office, the evidence provided was insufficient to prove the beneficiary's duties would be managerial rather than operational.
