dismissed L-1A Case: Clothing And Textiles
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity in the U.S. new office. The AAO found the proposed job duties lacked credibility as they were nearly identical to the beneficiary's prior role in a different industry. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that the new office's proposed staffing and business plan could support a genuinely executive position within one year.
