Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that its new office would support the beneficiary in an executive capacity within one year. The petitioner's business and hiring plans were deemed insufficient, as they only vaguely suggested hiring one part-time employee, which would not relieve the beneficiary from performing the primary operational tasks of the business.
