Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office would support a primarily managerial or executive position within one year of approval. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's proposed duties would be primarily managerial or executive rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
