L-1A Dismissed โ Real Estate Development (2018): the evidence demonstrated that the Beneficiary was
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the evidence demonstrated that the Beneficiary was primarily engaged in non-qualifying, operational-level tasks rather than fulfilling a primarily managerial role. Despite the petitioner's description of high-level duties, supporting documents showed the Beneficiary's direct involvement in day-to-day operations such as paying rent, visiting properties, and creating business cards, without sufficient evidence of delegation to subordinates.
