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 evidence, including the job description and the beneficiary's resume, indicated her duties were primarily performing the hands-on services of the business, such as treating patients and prescribing medicine, rather than managing the organization or other professional employees.
