dismissed EB-1C Case: Merchandising
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded that the petitioner's small staff of three employees was not adequately staffed to relieve the beneficiary from having to primarily perform non-qualifying, daily operational tasks. The AAO concurred with this finding.
