L-1A Dismissed โ€” Retail (2018): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed

๐Ÿ“… 2018-03-26 ๐Ÿ‘ค Company ๐Ÿ“‚ Retail

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small one-employee retail company, failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The Director and the AAO found that the provided job description was deficient and that the beneficiary would likely spend most of his time performing non-managerial operational tasks necessary to run the business, rather than overseeing other staff or managing an essential function.
