Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found the staffing of the U.S. organization, which included only a sales representative and a bookkeeper/office manager as subordinates, was insufficient to relieve the beneficiary from performing non-qualifying day-to-day operational duties.
