dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition for failing to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO dismissed the appeal, adding that the petitioner's corporate status was not in good standing in Texas, meaning the company could no longer be considered a legal entity in the United States and was thus ineligible for the classification sought.
