dismissed L-1A Case: Service And Trading
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 evidence showed the beneficiary was the sole employee performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, rather than managing other employees or directing the organization. The director also denied the petition for failing to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities.
