Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the record did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity, partly due to the petitioner's small staff size. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner established that other employees relieve the beneficiary from non-qualifying tasks, allowing the beneficiary to primarily perform managerial duties and direct the management of both the U.S. and foreign parent companies.
