Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, finding the evidence insufficient to show the new office would support a managerial or executive position within one year. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided additional evidence, including an updated business plan and a detailed job description, which credibly established that the beneficiary would primarily perform managerial duties as the company grew.
