Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded. The AAO found that the Director erred in determining the beneficiary was not employed in a managerial capacity abroad, clarifying the requirements for a 'function manager'. However, the matter was returned for a new decision because the record indicated the beneficiary's initial duties in the U.S. would be to establish a new dental laboratory, which may not be primarily managerial.

Employment Abroad Managerial Capacity Function Manager Proposed U.S. Employment
