dismissed L-1A Case: Retirement Planning Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity by the foreign entity. The job descriptions provided, both initially and in response to a request for evidence, included many hands-on, non-managerial duties, such as software development and network administration, which did not support the claim of a primarily managerial role.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Capacity (Abroad) Executive Capacity (Abroad) Managerial Capacity (U.S.) Executive Capacity (U.S.)
