L-1A Dismissed โ Beauty Salon (2017): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial capacity. The AAO found that many of the described duties, such as maintaining vendor contracts, ensuring inventory, marketing, and managing finances, were operational or administrative tasks. The record did not show that other employees would relieve the beneficiary from performing these necessary, non-managerial duties.
