dismissed L-1A Case: Food Mart
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate that the U.S. company, a new office, could support such a position, and the petitioner did not provide adequate details about the beneficiary's proposed duties or the company's organizational structure.
