Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the U.S. company employed the Beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found that the company, which relied on contractors and had no direct employees, lacked the organizational complexity to support the position. Furthermore, the record indicated the Beneficiary's duties were more akin to those of an investor or speculator overseeing projects rather than a manager of an organization.
