Decision Summary

The director determined the petitioner did not prove that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity abroad, that the proposed U.S. position would be primarily managerial or executive within one year, or that a qualifying corporate relationship existed between the U.S. and foreign entities. The AAO affirmed this denial.
