Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's initial findings. The AAO confirmed that the U.S. entity was a 'new office' subject to specific regulatory requirements, which the petitioner's counsel had contested. The petitioner did not successfully establish that the beneficiary was employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity abroad or that the new U.S. office would be able to support such a position within one year.
