L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2019): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity. The AAO found that the beneficiary's job description and the company's limited staffing indicated he would likely perform many non-qualifying operational tasks, such as handling payroll, paying for supplies, and managing day-to-day store expansions, rather than focusing on high-level executive duties.
