Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's employment abroad was primarily in a managerial capacity. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not demonstrate that the beneficiary primarily managed an essential function or supervised other professional employees, instead suggesting his duties were largely operational and technical in nature.
