Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner provided sufficient evidence, including a detailed duty description, credible business and hiring plans, and an existing subordinate staff, to demonstrate the beneficiary would more likely than not be employed in a qualifying executive capacity within one year. The AAO determined that the beneficiary would be able to focus on broad goals and policies rather than the day-to-day operations of the enterprise.
