Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would employ the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year of the petition's approval. The director concluded that the described duties did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's role from day-to-day operational tasks necessary to start the business, and the petitioner did not overcome this finding on appeal.
