dismissed EB-1C Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's proposed duties would involve performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the convenience store, rather than high-level management, and that the company's staffing levels did not realistically support such a position.
