L-1A Dismissed — Trade And Investment (2018): did not establish the beneficiary's proposed role would be

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed role would be primarily managerial within one year. The AAO determined that many of the described duties were non-qualifying, operational tasks, such as providing advice and participating in meetings, rather than high-level management. Furthermore, the petitioner did not show that the beneficiary would be supervising other professional, supervisory, or managerial employees, a key component of a qualifying managerial role.
