L-1A Dismissed — E-Commerce (2021): 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 a qualifying executive capacity. The petitioner's description of the beneficiary's duties was inconsistent with its organizational structure, as it referenced subordinate roles and departments (CFO, sales, marketing, IT) that did not exist, suggesting the beneficiary would perform non-qualifying operational tasks.
