L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2022): did not establish the beneficiary would be employed
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity in the United States. The Director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the described duties included many operational, day-to-day tasks rather than primarily high-level executive functions, despite the petitioner's claims.
