L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2019): 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. The descriptions of the Beneficiary's duties were inconsistent, vague, and included non-executive operational tasks such as purchasing inventory and taking customer orders, without sufficient evidence of delegation to subordinate staff.
