Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient evidence to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad and would be employed in the U.S. in a managerial capacity. The director initially denied the petition for lack of evidence that the beneficiary's subordinates were professionals, but the AAO found that this specific evidence had not been requested. On appeal, the petitioner supplied the necessary information regarding the subordinates' educational backgrounds, overcoming the sole ground for denial.
