Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, and the AAO dismissed the appeal, because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The evidence showed the beneficiary was the sole employee of the U.S. entity, meaning she would be responsible for performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business rather than primarily managing the organization or other employees.
