L-1A Dismissed — Food Import/Export (2005): did not establish the beneficiary, the company's

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, the company's president/CEO, would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director initially denied the L-1A extension on these grounds, and the AAO upheld that decision, unconvinced that the beneficiary's role was sufficiently high-level and not encumbered by day-to-day operational duties.
