dismissed L-1A Case: Wholesale Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two grounds for eligibility. The director concluded that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, and also failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. On appeal, the AAO affirmed the denial, focusing on the petitioner's failure to demonstrate the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial.
