L-1A Remanded — Restaurant (2024): the Director's initial denial lacked a complete analysis
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's initial denial lacked a complete analysis. Upon de novo review, the AAO found the record was deficient due to numerous unresolved anomalies and discrepancies, specifically the failure to clearly identify the U.S. petitioning entity. This ambiguity prevented the AAO from determining if a qualifying relationship existed or from properly analyzing the beneficiary's proposed managerial or executive role.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Or Executive Capacity Qualifying Relationship New Office One Year Of Employment Abroad
