Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity. The AAO found that the beneficiary's purported subordinates were not genuine managers or were offsite, and the salon manager performed substantial operational duties. The evidence suggested the beneficiary would primarily perform day-to-day operational tasks rather than directing the management of the organization.
