Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary would primarily perform non-managerial duties. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the petitioner successfully demonstrated the beneficiary would be employed as a 'function manager' by managing the essential function of new product development, and that the proposed subordinate staff was sufficient to handle the direct, non-managerial work.
