dismissed L-1A Case: Software Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key points: that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, and that a qualifying relationship existed with the foreign entity. The director found the initial job description too general and noted that despite a request for more evidence, the petitioner did not sufficiently prove the beneficiary's role would be primarily managerial rather than operational, particularly since the U.S. company only had one employee.
