dismissed L-1A Case: Cosmetics
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 found the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary's duties would be primarily at a managerial or executive level, rather than involving day-to-day operational tasks, which is a common issue for new offices with a small number of staff.
