dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded that the beneficiary's duties would likely involve performing the day-to-day services essential to running the retail business, rather than primarily managing staff or an essential function, particularly given the small number of employees.
