Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, and the AAO dismissed the appeal, because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The core issue was whether the beneficiary's duties were genuinely managerial rather than performing the day-to-day operational services, especially considering the small size of the petitioning organization.
