L-1A Dismissed — Food Manufacturing (2007): 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 a managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not show the beneficiary would be relieved from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, especially given the U.S. entity had only one other employee.
