L-1A Dismissed โ Wholesale Trade: did not establish the beneficiary would be employed in a
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 that the beneficiary's duties, which included a significant portion of daily business operations, were more akin to a first-line supervisor or operational employee rather than a manager or executive, especially considering the small number of staff in the U.S. office.
