Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary's position abroad as a sous chef was primarily in a managerial capacity. The AAO noted inconsistencies between the submitted job description and organizational chart regarding the beneficiary's reporting structure and subordinates. Ultimately, the evidence did not prove that the beneficiary supervised and controlled the work of other supervisory or managerial employees, as required by the statute.
