Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial or executive. The director found that due to the small staff, which included part-time employees, it was likely the beneficiary was performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than focusing on high-level duties. The petitioner also failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities.
