Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed U.S. employment would be primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found inconsistencies in the job duty descriptions and noted that the proposed duties were nearly identical to the beneficiary's role at a much larger, more established foreign entity, which was not plausible for a new office startup.
