EB-1C Sustained — Semiconductors (2023): the AAO found the petitioner established by a preponderance

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner established by a preponderance of the evidence that the beneficiary qualified as a personnel manager in his position abroad and would be employed as a function manager in the United States. The evidence showed the beneficiary managed a team of patent professionals abroad with personnel recommendation authority, and would manage the essential function of patent prosecution in the U.S. at a senior level with discretionary authority.
