Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, did not establish that the U.S. operation would support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year. The Director found the evidence insufficient to show that the proposed staffing levels and business plan would relieve the beneficiary from performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
