L-1A Dismissed — Eyeglasses Manufacturing (2017): 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 a significant portion of the beneficiary's time would be spent on operational tasks, such as setting up a new optical laboratory, rather than high-level executive duties. The petitioner's small size and lack of subordinate staff to handle day-to-day operations further indicated that the beneficiary would be performing non-qualifying tasks.
