Decision Summary
The motion to reconsider was denied, upholding the previous dismissal, because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a primarily managerial capacity abroad or would be in the U.S. The job descriptions were found to be vague and focused on operational tasks rather than true managerial oversight, and the petitioner did not demonstrate that the organizational structure was sufficient to relieve the beneficiary from performing day-to-day duties.
