dismissed L-1A Case: Restaurant
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found that the evidence was insufficient to prove the beneficiary's duties were primarily managerial or executive, rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of running the restaurant, a conclusion upheld by the AAO.
