Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed duties in the U.S. would be primarily managerial in nature. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's role from that of a first-line supervisor performing the operational tasks of the project, despite claims of overseeing a team.
Criteria Discussed
