Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary would not be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity due to an insufficient number of employees to handle day-to-day operations. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner had hired sufficient staff, including three vice presidents and outsourced key functions, which relieved the beneficiary from performing non-qualifying tasks and supported their role as president.
