Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements. First, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the company's small staff size and structure suggested the beneficiary was performing day-to-day operational tasks. Second, the petitioner did not prove a continuing qualifying relationship with a foreign entity, as the original foreign employer no longer existed.
