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 primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not show the new U.S. office would develop to a point where it could support such a position, a key requirement for L-1A new office petitions.
