Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a managerial capacity. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the evidence demonstrated the beneficiary's foreign employment met the statutory definition of managerial capacity. Specifically, the beneficiary managed a laboratory with professional staff and later a production unit, supervising a subordinate tier of supervisors and a total of 26 workers.
