dismissed L-1A Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed by the U.S. entity in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO dismissed the appeal, finding that the evidence and description of duties were insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's role would consist primarily of qualifying managerial or executive functions rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
