Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity in the United States. The job description provided was vague, failed to detail day-to-day duties, and did not demonstrate that the role was primarily managerial rather than operational. Furthermore, the record contained unresolved inconsistencies regarding the relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities, which had completely different product lines.
