Decision Summary
The initial decision was denied because the Director concluded the beneficiary's proposed U.S. position did not qualify as managerial or executive. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully established that the beneficiary would serve as a 'function manager,' primarily managing the company's essential supply chain operations at a senior level with discretion, rather than directly performing the tasks of the function.
