Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director initially denied the petition for this reason, and the AAO agreed, finding that the evidence did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's duties from the non-qualifying day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
