Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence regarding the company's staffing, which included only one other full-time manager and two apparent part-time employees, was insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's role was primarily to direct the organization rather than perform its day-to-day operational tasks.
