Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director was not convinced that the beneficiary's role consisted of overseeing professional staff or managing an essential function, rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks necessary to run the business, especially given the new office context.
