Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity. The Director and the AAO found that the company's staffing levels were insufficient to relieve the beneficiary from primarily performing the operational duties of the business, which is inconsistent with an executive role.
