Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The AAO found that the company's staffing levels at the time of filing, consisting only of the beneficiary, were insufficient to relieve him from performing non-managerial, operational tasks. Evidence of future hires submitted after the filing date was not considered, and other evidence of support was deemed inadequate.
