dismissed L-1A Case: Shipping
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a managerial capacity. The job description was too general, lacked necessary detail, and included non-managerial, operational tasks, failing to prove the beneficiary primarily managed an essential function rather than performing the duties of the function.
