Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The director concluded that the proposed duties for the marketing manager role at a single convenience store did not meet the statutory requirements, and the petitioner's claim that the beneficiary would serve as a 'functional manager' was not found to be persuasive.
