Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found the beneficiary's described duties were vague and focused on day-to-day operational tasks of the business, such as networking, attending trade shows, and establishing supply chains, rather than true managerial or executive functions.
