dismissed L-1A Case: Website Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The AAO found that the beneficiary's described duties, such as 'prospecting [and] phone calls,' were more operational than managerial, and the organizational structure with only one subordinate employee did not relieve the beneficiary from performing non-qualifying tasks.
