dismissed L-1A Case: Food Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed by the foreign entity in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The director also found the petitioner did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity in the U.S. within one year. The evidence provided conflicting job titles and described duties, such as 'Main chef' and 'products preparation,' that were inconsistent with a primarily managerial role.
