dismissed L-1A Case: Animal Breeding
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity by the foreign entity. On appeal, counsel did not address this deficiency or provide sufficient evidence, such as payroll records, to show that the beneficiary supervised other employees rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the ranch himself.
