L-1A Dismissed โ Retail: did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director noted that the company had only one employee other than the beneficiary, which indicated the beneficiary was likely performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than high-level duties, and the petitioner did not establish the need for a manager after one year of operations.
