Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's initial denial. The director found that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, that a qualifying relationship existed with the foreign employer, and that both the U.S. and foreign entities were 'doing business' as required for the visa extension.
Criteria Discussed
