dismissed L-1A Case: Convenience Store Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director and the AAO found that with only two employees at the convenience store/gas station, it was not credible that the beneficiary would be relieved of performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
