sustained EB-1C Case: Shipping
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that a comprehensive analysis of the company's organizational structure, which included multiple managerial tiers and sufficient staff for non-qualifying tasks, supported the conclusion that the beneficiary's roles abroad and in the U.S. were qualifying. Despite weaknesses in the job descriptions, the petitioner met the preponderance of the evidence standard.
