L-1A Dismissed โ Arts And Crafts Import/Retail (2007): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
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. The evidence showed that the beneficiary was the sole employee of the U.S. entity, which undermines the claim that she would primarily manage other staff or a major function of the organization rather than perform the day-to-day operational tasks herself.
