Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity. The AAO found significant inconsistencies between the submitted organizational charts, payroll records, and tax returns regarding the number and roles of employees. This lack of clarity and conflicting evidence failed to demonstrate that the company had sufficient staff to relieve the beneficiary from performing day-to-day operational tasks.
