dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity in the United States, or had been employed in such a capacity abroad. The AAO found that the evidence submitted, including the description of duties and organizational charts, was vague, inconsistent, and insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily perform high-level responsibilities rather than day-to-day operational functions.
