Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The AAO found the description of job duties to be vague and inconsistent with a high-level managerial role, noting the beneficiary would report to a financial manager and earn a salary significantly lower than the median for the accountants he would supposedly supervise. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily function as a personnel manager due to the small number of subordinates.
