L-1A Dismissed โ Food Wholesale (2019): 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 capacity in the U.S., or that they were employed in such a capacity abroad. The director found the beneficiary's described duties to be vague and insufficiently detailed to prove they were primarily managerial rather than operational, a conclusion upheld on appeal.
