Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed role in the U.S. would be primarily managerial. The AAO found that the described duties, such as preparing payroll and handling accounting, were operational tasks rather than high-level supervision of professional staff, and did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would be relieved from performing the day-to-day functions of the business.
