dismissed L-1A Case: Coffee Import/Distribution
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 in the United States. The director determined that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary's role would be primarily managerial or executive, as opposed to performing the day-to-day operational tasks necessary to run the business, especially given the low staffing levels of the U.S. entity.
