dismissed L-1A Case: Cabinet Manufacturing
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 for a new office extension. The evidence showed the beneficiary was the sole employee at the time of filing, and the petitioner did not sufficiently detail the beneficiary's duties or explain how independent contractors relieved the beneficiary from performing non-qualifying operational tasks.
