dismissed L-1A Case: Gemstone Wholesale
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found the description of duties insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary was relieved from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, a critical component for qualifying under this visa category, especially for a small company.
