dismissed L-1A Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity and that the proposed U.S. position would be primarily managerial or executive. The director concluded that the submitted job descriptions and supporting evidence did not sufficiently detail the beneficiary's duties to demonstrate that they were primarily managerial rather than operational.
