L-1A Dismissed — Food Services (2017): 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 an executive or managerial capacity. The description of duties was unclear, mixing responsibilities for the U.S. and foreign entities, and included numerous operational, day-to-day tasks inconsistent with a primarily executive role.
