L-1A Dismissed — Retail: did not establish two key requirements
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements. First, it did not prove that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the small staff size suggested the beneficiary was performing day-to-day operational duties. Second, the petitioner did not demonstrate a continuing qualifying relationship with a foreign entity.
