Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a managerial position within one year. The provided job descriptions for the beneficiary were vague, did not sufficiently detail day-to-day tasks, and failed to account for the beneficiary's non-managerial duties as a Spanish teacher.
