Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office operation would support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The petitioner's submissions lacked clarity on when additional staff would be hired and did not sufficiently detail how the beneficiary would be relieved from performing non-qualifying, day-to-day operational duties.
