Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence that the beneficiary would be employed primarily in a managerial or executive capacity. The director found that the description of the beneficiary's duties as an operations manager, which included supervising kitchen and service staff, was not enough to establish that the role was primarily managerial rather than performing day-to-day operational tasks of the restaurant.
