dismissed EB-1C Case: Produce Distribution
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. Given the U.S. company's small size, with only two drivers as subordinate staff, the AAO concluded the beneficiary would likely perform non-qualifying operational tasks rather than primarily managing the enterprise. The director also noted unresolved issues regarding the petitioner's ability to pay the proffered wage.
