Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence that the beneficiary's role qualified as primarily managerial or executive. The director initially denied the new office extension on these grounds, and the AAO agreed that the described duties did not meet the statutory definitions, especially concerning the small staff and the beneficiary's likely involvement in day-to-day operational tasks.
