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 for a new office with only two employees, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary would be relieved from performing the non-qualifying, day-to-day operational tasks necessary to run the business.
