Decision Summary
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary would be employed primarily in an executive capacity. The AAO found that a significant number of the beneficiary's daily tasks were non-qualifying operational duties, such as marketing, sales, and business development. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that subordinate staff, either in the U.S. or abroad, would relieve the beneficiary of these day-to-day responsibilities.
