L-1A Dismissed โ Retail (2005): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
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. The AAO agreed with the director that for a small business with only four employees, the beneficiary's duties appeared to be more operational and hands-on rather than primarily overseeing other managers or directing major functions of the organization as required by the statute.
