L-1A Sustained — Advertising And Marketing (2022): the AAO found that the petitioner successfully demonstrated
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner successfully demonstrated the beneficiary was employed abroad and would be employed in the U.S. in a primarily managerial capacity. The AAO disagreed with the Director's conclusion that the job descriptions were generic and found that the Director misapplied the standard for supervising professional staff, while also overlooking evidence that the beneficiary supervised other supervisors.
