Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found the evidence insufficient, and the petitioner argued on appeal that the beneficiary qualifies as a 'functional manager' by outsourcing the day-to-day operational tasks. The AAO upheld the director's decision.
