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's denial was based on the lack of evidence that the beneficiary's duties were primarily high-level, especially considering the U.S. entity was a new office with only one other employee, suggesting the beneficiary was performing day-to-day operational tasks.
