Decision Summary

The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence detailing the beneficiary's specific job duties, how subordinates would relieve her of non-managerial tasks, or her authority over personnel. The appeal also failed to specifically address the director's reasons for denial, instead just restating its submitted evidence.
