Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive or managerial capacity. The Director concluded the evidence was insufficient to prove the beneficiary's role met the statutory definitions, particularly for an extension of a 'new office' petition, and the AAO upheld this finding upon de novo review.
