dismissed L-1A Case: Restaurant And Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity. The director initially denied the petition for this reason, and on appeal, the petitioner did not successfully demonstrate that the beneficiary's duties, which included overseeing restaurant operations and researching new ventures, were primarily executive in nature as defined by the statute.
