L-1A Dismissed โ Solar Energy (2022): did not establish the beneficiary's employment abroad was
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's employment abroad was in a managerial capacity. The evidence submitted, including organizational charts and statements, contained significant inconsistencies and ambiguities regarding the foreign entity's staffing and reporting structure. The petitioner did not provide sufficient objective evidence to resolve these discrepancies and prove the beneficiary primarily performed high-level managerial duties rather than day-to-day operational tasks.
