L-1A Dismissed โ International Trade (2005): 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 primarily executive or managerial capacity. The petitioner's description of the beneficiary's duties allocated 50% of her time to generating new business and maintaining customer relationships, which are not primarily managerial or executive functions. Given the small size of the U.S. company, the duties described were more operational than supervisory or strategic.
