dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity in the United States. The director originally denied the petition on this basis, and the AAO affirmed that decision, finding the proposed duties did not primarily align with the statutory definitions of a manager or executive.
