dismissed L-1A Case: Handcrafted Goods
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to prove that the U.S. entity would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director concluded that the beneficiary's proposed duties involved day-to-day operational tasks inconsistent with a primarily managerial or executive role, especially given the lack of subordinate staff to perform such tasks.
