Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director determined that the beneficiary's duties, which included supervising non-professional staff like chefs and a cashier, were more characteristic of a first-line supervisor performing day-to-day operational tasks than a true manager or executive.
