Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary has been and will be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director found the evidence insufficient to show that the beneficiary's duties were primarily high-level, given the small staffing of the U.S. new office, which consisted of one convenience store.
