remanded L-1A Case: Real Estate Development
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary would not be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity because they would not supervise any subordinate employees. The AAO remanded the case, finding that the director did not adequately consider the petitioner's argument that the beneficiary qualifies as a function manager by overseeing numerous independent contractors to complete the company's real estate projects.
