Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director determined that while the beneficiary exercises some discretion, they also perform many of the day-to-day, non-qualifying activities of the restaurant, rather than primarily directing management or supervising other professional or managerial employees.
