L-1A Dismissed โ Restaurant (2009): 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 denied the petition due to a lack of detailed evidence proving the beneficiary's role as president of a small restaurant consisted primarily of qualifying duties, rather than day-to-day operational tasks. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence on appeal to overcome this finding.
