L-1A Dismissed — Publishing: did not establish the beneficiary's role qualified as
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role qualified as primarily managerial or executive. The director found that the U.S. operation, a new office which had pivoted from publishing to operating a grocery store, had not developed to a point where it could support a full-time manager or executive.
