Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's position in the U.S. is primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. Although the petitioner provided a list of high-level duties, the AAO determined that given the small size of the company and limited staff, the beneficiary would likely be engaged in day-to-day operational activities rather than primarily directing the organization.
