dismissed L-1A Case: Food Import/Distribution
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition on three grounds: failure to establish that the beneficiary will be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity in the U.S., failure to prove the beneficiary was employed in such a capacity abroad, and failure to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The AAO found that the petitioner did not overcome these grounds on appeal and therefore dismissed the appeal.
