Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a small four-employee firm, failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found that despite a detailed job description, the company's staffing levels and recent lack of business income did not sufficiently support the claim that the beneficiary would be relieved from performing non-qualifying operational duties.
