dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found the description of duties insufficient, particularly as the beneficiary would supervise non-professional employees in a small convenience store, suggesting the role would involve performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily managerial functions.
