Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity in the United States. The AAO found the evidence insufficient to prove the proposed role was primarily managerial and, because this was a dispositive issue, declined to address the petitioner's arguments regarding the beneficiary's employment abroad.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Capacity (U.S. Position) Executive Capacity (U.S. Position) Managerial Capacity (Foreign Position)
