Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The director found the U.S. business had not expanded sufficiently to require a full-time manager, and the AAO concurred, noting the description of duties was vague and did not show the beneficiary would be relieved from performing day-to-day operational tasks.
