Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, concluding the record did not establish the Beneficiary would be employed in an executive capacity, citing concerns about the U.S. organization's size and whether it had sufficient support staff. The appeal was sustained because the Petitioner provided additional information about new hires and clarified that the support staff and the foreign parent entity's employees handle daily operational tasks, allowing the Beneficiary to function in a primarily executive role.
