dismissed L-1A Case: Financial Services
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, and the AAO agreed, that the U.S. company's small size and minimal staffing (one full-time cashier) did not support the claim that the beneficiary would be relieved from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
