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. The director and the AAO found that given the small staffing of the new U.S. office (two employees), the beneficiary would likely be performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than primarily overseeing the work of others or managing an essential function.
