Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role qualified as primarily managerial or executive. The director found that the U.S. operation, a new office which had pivoted from publishing to operating a grocery store, had not developed to a point where it could support a full-time manager or executive.
