Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The job descriptions provided were vague, did not detail high-level responsibilities, and failed to differentiate the beneficiary's role from day-to-day operational activities. The petitioner did not sufficiently prove that the beneficiary supervises other professional or managerial employees or manages an essential function, as required for the L-1A classification.
