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 petitioner provided a general and non-specific description of job duties that merely paraphrased the statutory definitions without providing concrete examples or supporting evidence. The description of duties, including 50% of time spent on promotional and client-facing activities, did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial, especially given the small size of the U.S. operation.
