Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity abroad. The Director determined that the beneficiary's described duties involved performing operational marketing tasks rather than primarily managing a function or personnel. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove it had secured sufficient physical premises for its new office or that the new office could support a managerial position within one year.
