dismissed L-1A Case: Security Systems
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence that the beneficiary's U.S. duties were primarily managerial or executive in nature. The director noted the small size of the U.S. entity, which included only a part-time administrative assistant and a part-time technician, suggesting the beneficiary was likely performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business rather than managing a function or other professional employees.
