Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed by the U.S. entity in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director initially denied the petition on this basis, and on appeal, the petitioner failed to overcome this finding by sufficiently detailing the beneficiary's duties and demonstrating they align with the statutory definitions of a manager or executive.
