dismissed L-1A Case: Retail Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found that the petitioner did not provide a consistent or credible description of the proposed duties, and the evidence suggested the beneficiary would be a first-line supervisor performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than functioning at a senior, primarily managerial level.
