remanded L-1B Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director adjudicated the petition under the wrong visa classification. The petitioner explicitly filed for an L-1B specialized knowledge visa, but the director incorrectly denied the petition based on the failure to meet the criteria for an L-1A managerial or executive visa. The AAO determined this was a clear error and returned the case for a new decision under the correct L-1B standard.
