Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role would be primarily managerial or executive. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the description of duties was vague and the small number of subordinate employees suggested the beneficiary would be engaged in day-to-day operational tasks rather than overseeing other professional, supervisory, or managerial staff.
