L-1A Dismissed โ Granite Products (2005): did not establish the beneficiary's role qualified as
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role qualified as primarily executive or managerial. The director determined that the beneficiary's duties, such as performing market studies, planning strategies, and sourcing granite, were day-to-day operational tasks of the business rather than high-level functions. The evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary would be directing the organization at a strategic level rather than performing the tasks necessary to run it.
