L-1B Remanded — Business (2011): the director adjudicated the petition under the wrong visa

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.
