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 in the U.S. and that her prior employment abroad was in a qualifying capacity. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's duties were a mix of non-qualifying tasks (sales, secretarial) and that the business structure did not support a bona fide manager or executive.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Or Executive Capacity (U.S. Position) Managerial Or Executive Capacity (Foreign Position) New Office Requirements
