L-1A Dismissed — Stationery Design (2017): did not establish the beneficiary was employed abroad
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad primarily in a managerial capacity. The Director and the AAO found that the evidence did not sufficiently detail the beneficiary's duties or prove that she supervised a qualifying staff, suggesting she was significantly involved in the operational duties of the business rather than primarily managing.
Criteria Discussed
