Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity abroad. The petitioner's description of the beneficiary's duties was found to be conclusory, merely repeating statutory language, and included non-qualifying operational tasks without sufficient detail to prove she was primarily engaged in high-level management.
