Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. Despite claims that the beneficiary, as president, would direct management and set policies, the evidence did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's duties from non-qualifying, day-to-day operational tasks, which is a common issue for new offices with small staff.
