Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity. Although the petitioner argued the beneficiary was a 'function manager,' the AAO concluded that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that she primarily managed an essential function rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
