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 AAO found that the submitted list of duties, while involving decision-making, were too broad and more closely resembled the day-to-day operational tasks of running the beauty salon, rather than directing management or establishing broad organizational policies.
