L-1A Dismissed — Restaurant Operations (2020): did not establish the Beneficiary would be employed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity. Although the Petitioner described the Beneficiary's high-level responsibilities and authority, the job descriptions lacked specific details about his day-to-day tasks, making it impossible to determine if his duties were primarily executive rather than operational tasks necessary to run the restaurant.
Criteria Discussed
