dismissed L-1A Case: Automotive Restoration
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide a detailed description of the beneficiary's daily duties to prove they were managerial or executive in nature. The director reasonably concluded that with no other employees evidenced by tax returns, the beneficiary would be performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business. Additionally, the AAO found that the petitioner failed to submit sufficient evidence to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities.
