Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was procedurally flawed and did not clearly articulate the grounds for denial. The Director failed to analyze the beneficiary's foreign employment in a managerial or executive capacity and also failed to properly evaluate the proposed U.S. position under the specific regulations for a 'new office,' ignoring key evidence like the petitioner's business plan and organizational charts.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Or Executive Capacity New Office Requirements One Year Of Prior Employment Abroad
