Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial capacity in the United States. The evidence, including the job description, was deemed vague, unreliable, and insufficient to prove that the beneficiary would primarily perform high-level managerial duties rather than operational tasks. The petitioner's claim that the beneficiary would be a 'function manager' was also rejected for failing to clearly define the essential function to be managed.
