dismissed L-1A Case: Investments And Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time of filing. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the lack of subordinate staff suggested the beneficiary was performing the day-to-day operations. Additionally, evidence submitted on appeal, such as employees hired after the filing date, was not considered.
