dismissed EB-1C Case: Oil And Gas Consulting
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 found, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's described duties involved performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business rather than primarily managing the organization or an essential function. The petitioner's argument that the director improperly focused on the company having only one employee was not sufficient to overcome this deficiency.
