dismissed L-1A Case: Music Industry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's duties are primarily managerial or executive. The director concluded that given the small staff, which included only a part-time secretary and a dispatcher, the beneficiary would likely be performing many day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily managing the organization.
