Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. Although the petitioner described the role using terms like 'manage' and 'supervise,' the AAO found the duties would be predominantly non-qualifying operational tasks, such as sales and marketing, especially given the company's limited staffing.
