Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the beneficiary would be employed in the United States in an executive capacity. The record showed that as CEO of the multinational group, the beneficiary primarily directs the management of the company, establishes goals and policies, and exercises wide discretionary decision-making, while U.S. staff handle the day-to-day operations.
