L-1A Dismissed โ Hospitality (2017): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The Director and the AAO found that the beneficiary's proposed job descriptions were inconsistent, lacked sufficient detail, and did not demonstrate that he would be primarily performing high-level duties rather than day-to-day operational tasks. The small subordinate staff was also deemed insufficient to relieve the beneficiary from performing non-managerial and non-executive activities.
