Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the Director had improperly disregarded evidence of the Beneficiary's support staff, which included an outsourced accounting firm and an outside sales and marketing company. The AAO concluded that this evidence, along with detailed communications, demonstrated the Beneficiary held a senior leadership role and was not primarily engaged in daily operational tasks, thus qualifying for the managerial/executive role.
