L-1A Dismissed โ Maritime Services: 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 managerial or executive capacity. The director initially denied the petition for this reason, and on appeal, the petitioner did not overcome this finding. The duties described were found to be too general, and given the staffing level of only one other employee, it was determined the beneficiary was not relieved from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
