dismissed L-1B Case: Publishing
Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed primarily on procedural grounds because the petitioner failed to submit a timely brief or evidence to identify an error in the director's decision. Additionally, the AAO noted that the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that the beneficiary's role as a manager required specialized knowledge distinct from similar positions at other companies in the newspaper industry.
