L1-A Employment and Source of Pay

In the ‘Matter of Pozzoli’ it was decided that it was irrelevant whether the parent or subsidiary company paid the L1 beneficiary’s paycheck, as long as he was employed as per the petition application.  The employee’s activities, rather than salary are the essential element in the employment relationship.

The ‘Matter of Tessel’ established that an unsalaried executive acting as chairman was an employee of the company. Thus confirming the earlier decision in Pozzoli that is the activity rather than the salary that will be determinative.
