sustained EB-1C Case: Property Investment
Decision Summary
The petition was initially denied because the director found that the beneficiary was not employed abroad in a qualifying managerial capacity, believing the beneficiary's time was spent on non-qualifying tasks. On appeal, the petitioner's counsel provided additional information and clarification which persuasively demonstrated that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial. This new evidence overcame the sole basis for denial, leading the AAO to sustain the appeal.
