dismissed L-1A Case: Consulting And Import
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. The director's denial, which was upheld, noted that the beneficiary's described duties included day-to-day operations, and the small size of the U.S. office (three people, including two part-time employees) did not support the claim that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial or executive rather than performing the operational tasks of the business.
