dismissed L-1A Case: Furniture Import
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. The director noted the beneficiary was the sole employee, likely performing the day-to-day services of the business, and the petitioner lacked the organizational complexity to support such a position. A secondary issue raised was whether the beneficiary was barred from working under Executive Order 13059 due to the parent company's location in Iran.
