Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The U.S. company, a convenience store with only one full-time cashier and one part-time clerk, was not sufficiently staffed to relieve the beneficiary from performing the day-to-day, non-managerial tasks required to run the business.
