L-1A Dismissed — Digital Design And Marketing (2020): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity. The AAO found that the beneficiary's described duties, such as acquiring new accounts and direct client relations, were operational rather than executive. The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that there were enough subordinate employees to relieve the beneficiary from performing the day-to-day, non-qualifying tasks of the business.
