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 primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. As a 'new office', the petitioner needed to show it could support such a position within the first year, but the director found the evidence insufficient, and the AAO agreed with this finding.
