Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient new evidence to demonstrate that the beneficiary's roles, both abroad and in the U.S., meet the statutory definition of 'managerial capacity.' The petitioner established that the beneficiary managed a key function abroad and will oversee a department with 18 employees and subordinate supervisors in the U.S., with discretionary authority and relief from day-to-day operational tasks.
