Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed U.S. position would be primarily in an executive capacity. The AAO found that the petitioner's limited staffing at its restaurant was insufficient to support the beneficiary in a role that was not primarily performing day-to-day operational duties, despite the beneficiary's high-level title and ownership status.
