L-1A Dismissed — Investment (2005): did not establish the beneficiary has been and will be
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary has been and will be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director found the evidence insufficient to show that the beneficiary's duties were primarily high-level, given the small staffing of the U.S. new office, which consisted of one convenience store.
