Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in an executive capacity. At the time of filing the extension, the beneficiary was the company's sole employee, meaning his purported executive duties like supervising managers and holding department meetings were prospective and not his actual duties. The petitioner failed to show that the beneficiary would be primarily engaged in high-level executive tasks rather than the day-to-day operational activities of the business.
