Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed by the foreign entity in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director and the AAO found that the beneficiary's duties comprised tasks necessary to produce a product or provide services, rather than primarily managerial or executive duties. The AAO also reviewed whether the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial capacity at the new U.S. office.
