L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2018): 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 Director and the AAO found the petitioner's staffing levels, with only two subordinates who worked very few hours, insufficient to relieve the beneficiary from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
