Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity in the U.S. within one year, a requirement for a new office. The AAO found the proposed job duties to be overly vague and generic, lacking the specific day-to-day tasks necessary to demonstrate that the role was truly managerial rather than focused on operational activities.
