dismissed L-1A Case: Real Estate Development
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. The director found that the beneficiary was merely a first-line supervisor, not overseeing other supervisory, professional, or managerial employees. The AAO upheld this decision, concluding the beneficiary's duties did not meet the statutory definition of a manager.
