dismissed L-1A Case: Jewelry Business
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 initially denied the petition for this reason, and on appeal, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to overcome this finding. The AAO agreed that the described duties did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would be primarily engaged in qualifying managerial or executive tasks rather than the day-to-day operational activities of the business.
