Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial capacity. The AAO agreed with the Director that the beneficiary's subordinates (administrative assistant, sales representatives, warehouse specialist) were not professional, supervisory, or managerial employees. This indicated that the beneficiary was not primarily a personnel manager and would likely be involved in performing the daily operational tasks of the business.
