L-1A Remanded — Stone And Granite Distribution (2018): the Director's decision was withdrawn because it improperly
Decision Summary
The Director's decision was withdrawn because it improperly applied the legal standards for an initial new office petition rather than those for a new office extension. The case was remanded for re-adjudication under the correct regulations, as the AAO also found the record lacked sufficient evidence to show the Beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity, citing overly broad job descriptions and an unclear staffing structure.
