Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the Director misapplied the legal standard by requiring the beneficiary's subordinates to be managers, a criterion for 'managerial capacity' not 'executive capacity'. The AAO found that the petitioner provided sufficient evidence showing the beneficiary would primarily direct a major company component, establish its goals and policies, and exercise wide decision-making authority, thereby meeting the definition of an executive.
