Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director noted the company had not grown sufficiently to support such a position at the end of its initial 'new office' period, as the beneficiary remained the sole employee, which indicated he was not relieved from performing non-qualifying operational tasks.
