Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive or managerial capacity. The director concluded that the beneficiary, as president of a gas station and convenience store, would be primarily involved in performing the day-to-day services essential to running the business, rather than supervising a qualifying staff or managing at a high level.
