Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity within one year of the new office's approval. The petitioner failed to show a realistic expectation that the new restaurant would expand sufficiently to support a position where the beneficiary would be relieved of performing day-to-day operational tasks.
