On September 24, 2010, the director denied the petition concluding the following: (I) the petitioner failed to establish that it is a United States employer that has been doing business in the United States for one year prior to filing the instant petition, (2) that the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's employment in the U.S. will be in a qualifYing managerial or executive capacity, and (3) the petitioner failed to establish that it has the ability to pay the beneficiary's proffered wage. Upon review ofthe record, the AAO withdraws the director's decision and sustains the appeal. The petitioner provided numerous documents, including tax returns, quarterly wage reports, lease agreements, photographs of the leased space, invoices, organizational charts, and a detailed job description of the job duties to be performed by the beneficiary. Upon review of all of the documentation submitted by the petitioner, the AAO finds that the petitioner has overcome the director's concerns and the appeal will be sustained. In visa petition proceedings, the burden of proving eligibility for the benefit sought remains entirely with the petitioner. Section 291 of the Act, 8 U.S.c. ยง 1361. Here, that burden has been met. Accordingly, the appeal will be sustained. ORDER: The appeal is sustained.
