Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition because the record did not establish the Beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity, largely due to the absence of U.S. subordinate employees. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the record credibly indicated the Beneficiary would primarily exercise managerial authority over professionals and their managers at an affiliate in Mexico, thus fulfilling the managerial capacity requirement.
