dismissed EB-1C Case: Construction
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's described duties involved performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the construction business, such as negotiating purchases, dealing with architects, and obtaining permits, rather than primarily directing the management of the organization or supervising other managerial/professional staff.
