L-1A Dismissed — Jewelry Retail: the petitioner failed to overcome the director's three

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's three grounds for denial. The AAO first rejected the petitioner's claim that it was a 'new office', citing tax returns and bank statements showing significant business activity. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the listed duties focused on operational and sales tasks rather than high-level oversight.
