sustained L-1A Case: Agriculture
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's past and future employment in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. On appeal, the AAO found that the petitioner submitted sufficient new evidence to demonstrate that the beneficiary managed an essential function abroad and that the new U.S. operation would likely support a managerial position within one year.
