L-1A Remanded โ Quality Assurance (2020): the Director's initial denial failed to meaningfully
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial denial failed to meaningfully consider the evidence that the beneficiary qualified as a 'function manager' both in his foreign position and his proposed U.S. position. The AAO found this lack of analysis prevented a fair opportunity to contest the decision and meaningful appellate review. The case was sent back for a new decision that properly evaluates the beneficiary's role as a function manager.
