dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's role consisted of qualifying high-level duties rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
