Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary's position abroad as an Assistant Cruise Director was primarily managerial. The AAO determined the beneficiary's position was low in the organizational hierarchy and that his job duties were primarily operational and customer-service focused, rather than meeting the statutory requirements for a managerial role.
