Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director and the AAO found that in a small office, the beneficiary's described duties, such as creating promotional materials and analyzing markets, indicated they would be performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the business rather than primarily managing other personnel or a key function.
