Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found that the description of the beneficiary's duties as president was insufficient to demonstrate that the role was primarily supervisory and strategic rather than focused on day-to-day operational tasks, especially given the small size of the U.S. office.
