dismissed L-1A Case: Furniture Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. After its initial year of operation, the U.S. entity had only one employee (the beneficiary), which did not support the claim that the beneficiary's duties were primarily managerial rather than operational.
