remanded L-1A Case: Carrier Service
Decision Summary
The initial approval for a new office petition was revoked because the director determined the beneficiary was not employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, citing insufficient staffing. The matter was remanded because the petitioner argued that the director improperly applied the standards for an established office, rather than the more lenient standards applicable to a new office petition, which allows for development over the first year.
