L-1A Dismissed โ Retail: did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director's denial, and the core issue on appeal, focused on whether the beneficiary's duties were sufficiently high-level, particularly given the small staff of the U.S. company which suggested the beneficiary performed day-to-day operational tasks.
