dismissed L-1A Case: Retail Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. entity, a new office, would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director found the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary's proposed role would be primarily managerial or executive, rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, especially since the company only had one employee.
