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 found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, such as a detailed business plan or organizational chart, to demonstrate how the new U.S. office would support a true executive position and relieve the beneficiary from performing non-qualifying operational duties within one year.
