dismissed L-1A Case: Food Sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, particularly for a new office extension. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the U.S. entity had not grown enough to support the beneficiary in such a role, as the described duties included day-to-day operational tasks inconsistent with a primarily managerial position.
