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 for a new office extension. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not demonstrate sufficient growth or staffing to support the beneficiary in a qualifying role, as the proposed subordinate positions were not yet filled.
