L-1A Dismissed — Technology Consulting (2018): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed

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 Director concluded that the beneficiary, as the sole initial employee in the U.S., would not be relieved from performing non-qualifying day-to-day operational duties. The petitioner's plans for future hires and reliance on support from the foreign parent company were insufficient to overcome this finding.
