remanded L-1A Case: Equipment Supply And Leasing
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition for failing to establish the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity, but did so without applying the more lenient standards for a 'new office.' The AAO found that the petitioner is a new office and remanded the case for the director to re-adjudicate it under the correct legal standard. However, the AAO also noted that the current record lacks sufficient evidence to meet even the new office requirements.
