L-1A Remanded — Diamond Import/Distribution (2022): the Director's denial was found to be deficient
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was found to be deficient. The AAO determined that the Director failed to provide a sufficient explanation for the denial, did not consider all relevant evidence regarding the Beneficiary's proposed executive role in the U.S., and improperly based the decision on past activities during the company's start-up phase. The matter was sent back for a new, properly analyzed decision.
