The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary's employment abroad was primarily in an executive capacity. The job descriptions provided were vague, focused on operational tasks like representing the company with clients and suppliers, and did not establish that he directed management or set broad policies. Furthermore, unresolved discrepancies in the beneficiary's job titles and duties cast doubt on his actual role.
