Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director found that the petitioning organization had not expanded to a point where it required a full-time executive, and that the beneficiary would likely spend most of his time performing the non-executive, daily operational functions of the business. The AAO agreed with the director's conclusion.
