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 qualifying managerial or executive capacity in the United States. The petitioner did not provide requested evidence about its staffing, and its tax documents showed low wage payments, indicating an insufficient number of employees to support a manager. The petitioner also failed to prove the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifying capacity.
