Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's three grounds for denial. The AAO first rejected the petitioner's claim that it was a 'new office', citing tax returns and bank statements showing significant business activity. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the listed duties focused on operational and sales tasks rather than high-level oversight.
