Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a primarily executive capacity. The job description provided was vague, lacked detail, and appeared to be a generic definition copied from a government publication rather than a specific account of the beneficiary's duties. The Director also found the petitioner did not establish a qualifying relationship with the foreign employer or that the new U.S. office could support an executive position within one year.
