Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity within one year, a requirement for a new office L-1A petition. The AAO found the beneficiary's proposed duties to be overly vague and indicative of involvement in day-to-day operational tasks rather than high-level executive functions. The evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the business would grow to a point where it could support a primarily executive position within the required timeframe.
