dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The director denied the L-1A extension petition, concluding that the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring with the director's findings and finding the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary's role was primarily directing the organization rather than performing the day-to-day services of the retail furniture business.
