Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad or would be employed in the U.S. in a primarily managerial capacity. Evidence showed the beneficiary's duties, both past and proposed, were overwhelmingly operational (85-90% of his time), with only a small portion dedicated to managerial tasks like coaching and approvals, and lacked key supervisory functions like hiring, firing, or conducting performance reviews.
