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 denied the petition on this basis, and the petitioner's arguments on appeal, which focused on the beneficiary's high-level responsibilities, were not sufficient to overcome the concern that a small operation required the beneficiary to perform non-qualifying day-to-day tasks.
