Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition, concluding that the record did not establish the Beneficiary would be employed in a managerial capacity, primarily due to a lack of staffing that would require the Beneficiary to perform operational tasks. On appeal, the Petitioner claimed to have hired staff and contractors, but the AAO found the evidence insufficient and dismissed the appeal, agreeing that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate the Beneficiary would primarily perform qualifying managerial duties.
