dismissed L-1A Case: Automotive Sales
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 affirmed, that the beneficiary's duties and the small organizational structure did not support the claim, suggesting the role involved performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily managing a function or other professional employees.
