L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2009): did not establish the new U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would employ the beneficiary in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity within one year. The director's denial was based on the finding that the proposed role would not primarily consist of managerial or executive duties, a conclusion upheld by the AAO.
