Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that its new office would be able to support a managerial or executive position within one year. The petitioner's business plan and revenue projections were deemed unrealistic, as they were not substantiated with sufficient evidence like the claimed distribution agreements. Consequently, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would primarily perform qualifying duties rather than the day-to-day tasks of running the business.
