Decision Summary
The matter was remanded because the Director failed to properly consider the petitioner's arguments regarding the beneficiary's role as a 'function manager', especially in light of a binding precedent case with a similar fact pattern. The AAO also identified a new potential deficiency regarding the beneficiary's one year of continuous managerial experience abroad and determined the petitioner should have an opportunity to address it.
Criteria Discussed
Managerial Or Executive Capacity Function Manager Qualifying Employment Abroad
