Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO found that a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities did exist, it concluded the petitioner failed to establish that the new office had developed sufficiently to support the beneficiary in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The decision centered on the petitioner's inability to demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily perform qualifying managerial duties rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of the business.
