Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity. The petitioner's description of the job duties was found to be vague, repetitive, and conclusory, merely restating statutory definitions without providing specific daily tasks. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not prove the role was genuinely high-level and strategic rather than hands-on and operational, especially for a small company.
