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 within one year of the new office's operation. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's duties would be primarily managerial rather than focused on performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the start-up business.
