dismissed L-1A Case: Floral Design
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's denial was based on the beneficiary's proposed job duties not being primarily managerial, a point the petitioner contested by arguing undue emphasis was placed on the company's small size. The AAO upheld the denial, indicating the described duties were not consistent with a qualifying managerial or executive role.
