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's denial concluded that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial, and the AAO agreed with this finding, especially considering the small staff size of the U.S. entity.
