L-1A Dismissed — Travel Agency (2017): did not establish the beneficiary would be primarily
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be primarily employed in a managerial capacity in the United States. The description of the proposed job duties was found to be vague and did not sufficiently differentiate between high-level managerial responsibilities and non-qualifying operational tasks. Furthermore, the petitioner's small size and the need to hire additional staff indicated that the beneficiary would be performing the day-to-day work rather than managing the organization.
