Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not overcome the Director's finding that the beneficiary would not be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. The petitioner claimed the beneficiary would serve as a 'function manager,' but failed to sufficiently demonstrate that the proposed duties were primarily managerial in nature rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of the role.
