dismissed L-1A Case: Woodworking
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 petitioner, a new office, did not provide sufficient evidence to show that it had grown to a point where it could support a manager or executive, and that the beneficiary would not be primarily performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
