Decision Summary
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the case remanded because the Director incorrectly analyzed the L-1A (managerial/executive) petition using the criteria for an L-1B (specialized knowledge) visa. The AAO instructed the Director to re-adjudicate the petition under the correct L-1A standard, while noting that the current record was insufficient to demonstrate the beneficiary would act in a managerial capacity.
