L-1A Dismissed — Retail: did not establish two key points
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key points. First, it did not prove that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial or executive, as the small staff size suggested the beneficiary was likely performing day-to-day operational tasks. Second, the petitioner failed to establish that a qualifying corporate relationship existed between the U.S. entity and the foreign company.
