Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director found that due to the small size and limited staffing of the U.S. company, the beneficiary would be directly engaged in operational tasks rather than primarily managing the enterprise or its employees.
