dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a convenience store, failed to establish that the beneficiary's role as president would be primarily managerial or executive. The director concluded that the beneficiary's duties were not sufficiently relieved from performing the day-to-day operational tasks necessary to run the business, a conclusion upheld by the AAO.
