Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's proposed duties were not primarily at a high level, especially given the U.S. entity had only one other employee, suggesting the beneficiary would be performing day-to-day operational tasks.
