Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the new office would employ the Beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the provided business plan and list of duties were vague, contained inconsistencies, and did not sufficiently differentiate high-level responsibilities from the day-to-day operational tasks necessary to run the business.
