Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The director found the beneficiary's described duties, a significant portion of which involved direct client meetings, were more operational and sales-related rather than managerial. The small staffing of the U.S. entity, consisting only of the beneficiary and one assistant, further undermined the claim that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial.
