Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity. The AAO found that a significant portion of the beneficiary's time would be spent on operational tasks, such as setting up a new optical laboratory, rather than high-level executive duties. The petitioner's small size and lack of subordinate staff to handle day-to-day operations further indicated that the beneficiary would be performing non-qualifying tasks.
