The motion was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity within one year of approval for its new office. The Director found the description of the store director's duties to be too general, inclusive of non-qualifying tasks, and insufficient to show that the beneficiary would primarily perform high-level duties rather than the day-to-day operational tasks of the convenience store.
