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, which is a requirement for the L-1A visa classification. The director concluded that the evidence provided did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's role as president and general manager of a gas station and convenience store consisted mainly of qualifying high-level duties rather than performing day-to-day operational tasks.
