Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary will be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director had initially denied the petition for this reason, and on appeal, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to overcome this finding, particularly regarding the beneficiary's specific duties versus the day-to-day operational tasks required for a small, new office.
