Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new office would support the beneficiary in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity within one year. The AAO found the beneficiary's proposed job duties to be vague, general, and not sufficiently detailed to demonstrate he would primarily perform qualifying tasks rather than the day-to-day operational activities of the business.
