sustained EB-1C Case: Apparel Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient evidence on appeal to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity. The AAO found that the beneficiary managed an essential function (merchandising), served at a senior level, had discretionary decision-making authority, and had sufficient staff to relieve her from performing non-managerial duties.
