dismissed L-1A Case: Restaurant
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's employment, both in the U.S. and previously abroad, was in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director and the AAO found the job descriptions too general and vague, failing to show that the beneficiary would primarily perform qualifying duties rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of the restaurant.
