Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, a key requirement for an L-1A extension. The director also found that the petitioner, which was established as a new office, did not prove it had been 'doing business' for the previous year. As the beneficiary was the sole employee, their duties were not primarily managerial, but rather consisted of performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
