Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would continue to be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director noted that the new U.S. office, intended for publishing, had instead commenced operations as an ethnic grocery store and had not developed to a point where it could support a managerial or executive position.
