Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director incorrectly determined that the beneficiary's prior L-1A petition was approved by the Department of State, and therefore mistakenly concluded that USCIS's policy of deferring to prior approvals did not apply. The AAO found that the prior approval was in fact from USCIS, requiring the Director to reconsider the case and apply the deference policy.
