Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, nor that the U.S. entity had properly commenced doing business as required for a new office extension. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument that delays in obtaining a social security number should excuse these requirements, affirming the director's decision.
