Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial capacity. The job description was vague and did not provide sufficient detail about the specific day-to-day tasks, particularly for the 70% of time allocated to 'daily operational and managerial works,' preventing a determination that the role was primarily managerial rather than operational.
