dismissed L-1A Case: Retail / Convenience Store
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director found that due to the small staff and discrepancies in the number of reported employees, the beneficiary would be primarily performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the convenience store rather than supervising other professional or managerial personnel.
