Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role qualified as primarily managerial or executive. The director found the initial job description insufficient, and despite the petitioner providing more details on appeal, the evidence did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's duties from the day-to-day operational tasks of running the business.
