Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a new office, failed to establish two key points. First, it did not prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the beneficiary was the sole employee and his duties were not sufficiently distinguished from non-qualifying operational tasks. Second, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that it had been 'doing business' for the entire one-year period required for a new office extension.
