Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the beneficiary was the only employee of the U.S. entity, suggesting the role would involve performing day-to-day operational duties rather than being primarily managerial or executive. The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence, such as a clear organizational chart and payroll records, to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity.
