Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary's proposed role in the U.S. would be primarily managerial or executive. The director found that the described duties involved the beneficiary in day-to-day operational tasks rather than directing the organization through subordinate managers or professionals, and the AAO upheld this finding.
