Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary would not be employed in a managerial or executive capacity. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the record demonstrated the beneficiary's role was primarily executive, overseeing a multi-layered entity with sufficient subordinate staff, possessing broad decision-making authority, and receiving only general supervision.
