sustained L-1A Case: Information Technology Consulting

Decision Summary

The director initially denied the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role was primarily managerial. On appeal, the petitioner successfully argued that the beneficiary's position as a Business Relationship Manager, involving the direct and indirect supervision of 191 professional employees and management of a $12 million client account, met the statutory definition of managerial capacity. The AAO agreed with the petitioner's evidence and sustained the appeal.
