Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new U.S. office, failed to establish that its intended operation would support the beneficiary in a qualifying managerial capacity within one year. The Director concluded that the evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's duties would be primarily managerial, as distinct from the day-to-day operational tasks required to run the business.
