dismissed L-1A Case: Security Systems
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, and the AAO dismissed the appeal, because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director noted that the U.S. entity, which was a new office, had a very small staff, indicating the beneficiary was likely performing the day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily managing other employees or a key function.
