dismissed L-1A Case: Importer
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director and the AAO found that, given the small number of staff, the beneficiary was likely performing the day-to-day services necessary for the business's operation rather than functioning primarily as a manager or executive.
