The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the Director miscalculated the qualifying one-year period of foreign employment. The correct look-back period was the three years preceding the beneficiary's entry into the U.S., not the three years preceding the petition filing. Additionally, the AAO found sufficient evidence to establish that the beneficiary's position abroad was primarily managerial.
