Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial capacity. The AAO sustained the appeal because it found the petitioner successfully demonstrated the beneficiary would primarily act as a 'function manager' for the essential function of product development, holding a senior position with discretionary authority within the company's structure.
