Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The description of the U.S. duties was vague, did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily manage a function rather than perform it, and relied on managing employees who had not yet been hired.
