Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new office would support a managerial or executive position within one year. The Director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's proposed duties were not primarily managerial, as the job descriptions for intended subordinates were not sufficient to demonstrate they would relieve the beneficiary of day-to-day operational tasks.
