Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded that with only one other employee, it was logical to assume the beneficiary was performing most of the day-to-day, non-qualifying duties of the business rather than functioning as a manager or executive.
