Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The petitioner's claims about the beneficiary's duties were conclusory and not supported by independent documentary evidence. The small size and structure of the foreign entity did not support the assertion that the beneficiary was primarily engaged in managerial tasks rather than the day-to-day operations of the business.
