Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner underwent a fundamental change in its business, from a sporting goods wholesaler to operating restaurants, without filing a required amended petition. This change was deemed material as it affected the beneficiary's eligibility, particularly the claim of serving in an executive capacity, which was based on the original, now defunct, business structure and staffing.
