Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary's proposed employment in the U.S. would be primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The AAO determined that the described job duties, small staffing size, and organizational chart with many vacant or pending positions suggested the beneficiary would be performing day-to-day operational tasks rather than directing the organization at a high level.
