dismissed L-1A Case: Wine Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The evidence showed the U.S. office had only one other employee, an administrative assistant, which suggested the beneficiary would primarily perform the day-to-day operational and sales tasks of the business rather than managing other professional staff or a key function.
