dismissed EB-1C Case: Business Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. While the AAO found the petitioner had overcome the initial finding regarding its ability to pay, the description of the beneficiary's duties as CEO suggested substantial involvement in day-to-day operational tasks, such as direct sales and marketing activities, rather than primarily managing the organization or its functions.
