EB-1C Sustained — Manufacturing/Supply (2017): the Director had incorrectly concluded the beneficiary

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the Director had incorrectly concluded the beneficiary would not be employed in a full-time executive capacity. The AAO found that the Director failed to properly consider the foreign employees who support the U.S. entity under the beneficiary's supervision, which relieved her from non-qualifying duties. The AAO clarified that overseeing these foreign support staff was integral to her full-time U.S. executive role.
