Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary's prior role as a Product Manager abroad was not a qualifying managerial or executive position. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient evidence showing that the beneficiary, in that role, managed a professional employee, managed an essential function (the Prosthetic Knee product line), and exercised significant discretion over product development, marketing, and budgets, thereby meeting the definition of a managerial capacity.
