dismissed L-1A Case: Wholesale/Retail
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 with a small staff consisting only of the beneficiary and the president, the beneficiary's role would likely involve performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily managerial functions.
