Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity in the United States. The beneficiary's statements during a site visit interview directly contradicted the claimed managerial duties, such as handling payroll, scheduling, and budgeting. The petitioner's subsequent claim that the beneficiary had a language barrier was undermined by evidence, including the beneficiary's own resume which stated he was fluent in English.
