Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that its new office would support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The business plan's staffing projections were insufficient, indicating that a sales and marketing employee would not be hired until the third year, which suggests the beneficiary would be performing non-managerial operational tasks rather than primarily managing staff.
