L-1A Dismissed โ Food Production (2020): 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. Evidence, including emails and client letters, indicated the beneficiary was substantially involved in non-qualifying, operational duties such as direct client communication, providing samples, and sales. The petitioner did not adequately document what proportion of the beneficiary's duties were managerial versus operational.
