Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish that the Beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity. The evidence showed insufficient staffing, with only one full-time manager and two very part-time salespeople, which was not sufficient to relieve the Beneficiary from performing day-to-day operational tasks. The Petitioner failed to prove that the Beneficiary would primarily perform high-level duties rather than the non-qualifying tasks necessary to run the business.
