dismissed L-1A Case: 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 director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence, including the small number of employees and the described duties, suggested the beneficiary would be engaged in day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily performing qualifying executive functions.
