Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The director and the AAO found that the submitted job description was too vague and did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary would be primarily engaged in high-level duties rather than the day-to-day operational activities required to start the new office.
