Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The director noted that the beneficiary's proposed duties overlapped significantly with those of other managers and appeared to involve performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business, rather than managing a function or supervising professional employees. The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that the U.S. entity's size and stage of development required another high-level manager.
