Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity in the United States. The petitioner submitted inconsistent organizational charts and job descriptions before and after an RFE, attempting to retroactively establish eligibility by creating new high-level positions. The evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's duties would be primarily executive rather than operational.
