L-1A Dismissed โ Dental Laboratory (2023): did not establish the beneficiary would primarily be
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily be employed in a qualifying executive capacity. The Director found that the described job duties were not sufficiently detailed to distinguish them from the daily operational functions of the business, and that the company's staffing and organizational structure were insufficient to elevate the beneficiary beyond a first-line supervisor.
